New preprint alert! 📢 Event segmentation allows us to parse continuous experience into meaningful events. Working memory (WM) is suggested to play a key role in this process, but how? osf.io/preprints/ps...

We show that individuals with anxiety symptoms respond slower to changes of context (event boundaries) and they segment contexts (events) more precisely. We also asked people about preferences and experience with context changes in everyday life, which correlated with both anxiety and segmentation!

Especially proud of the talented and hard-working undergrad and post-bacc RAs (at the time, now PhD candidates 😀) that made this project possible: @norawolf.bsky.social @danmirea.bsky.social Cara Khalifeh,Lauren Beugelsdyk,Gili Karni

Excited to see this big collaborative project out in the world @naturehumbehav.bsky.social ! Sleep actively enhances memory for the temporal sequence - but not sensory details - of our real-life experiences, even months-to-years later. 🧠 oscillations matter. Original 🧵: bsky.app/profile/diam...

I wrote an op-ed for voters in a red state about how devastating NIH indirect cuts are. This type of writing isn’t my comfort zone, but I think we as scientists need to get the word out. Happy to chat with others looking to do the same in their communities! www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

I want to highlight a special issue in honor of Sarah DuBrow, a brilliant scientist and dear friend who passed away in 2022. We contributed a paper in which we disentangled the importance of temporal and causal relationships while participants recalled the non-linear narrative, Memento. 🧵 ⬇️ 1/9

I want to draw attention to a special issue that Lila Davachi and I put together to memorialize our friend and colleague Sarah DuBrow. It’s full of papers inspired by her work and her being from a group of collaborators, friends, and fans! Thanks @bradpostle.bsky.social for helping make this happen.

So happy to see this published! Lila and I looked at how memory representations of sequences became integrated over time through their shared predictive cues. We had fun thinking about the different aspects of systems consolidation that may play a role in this transformation
