Had the pleasure of presenting part of my PhD work on daily cognitive variability at #CPA2026 in Montreal last week. Really neat to chat with clinicians and practitioners to better understand the current mental health landscape. Looking forward to bringing these ideas back to the research setting!

Presented my most recent work on intraindividual variability in daily cognition at this year's NOWCAM at UBC (nowcam.org). Such a pleasure to present alongside my peers and make new connections with local researchers!

Great to connect with everyone at the poster sessions at #CNS2026! I had a wonderful time presenting my work and chatting with so many people throughout the conference. Thanks for making my first CNS such a welcoming experience--already looking forward to the next one!
