Deepu Murty @vpmurty.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I am active in advocating for trainee mental health. But as a field, I am realizing we need to start extending that support to junior faculty. I think all senior faculty should find a junior faculty member regardless of gender and say “gurrrrrl, you got this”. But seriously, what would be helpful? 090

Deepu Murty @vpmurty.bsky.social · 20/08/2026What a cool finding! It’s such a nice integration of some of the prior Dunsmoor/Braun retroactive effects with Dubrow/Ezzyat/Davachi event boundary stuff. I’m super interested the effects are delayed given that the Sol paper shows mini replays at event boundaries that predict immediate memory. 100
