🧠📚 #PhDLife isn’t just about #productivity — it’s about sustainability. In our latest video, we share practical tips for managing time during a PhD. A PhD is a marathon, not a sprint — and learning how to manage your energy is just as important as managing your time. #ResearchLife #AcademicLife

@abicommlab.bsky.social member @oliviamaurice.bsky.social on ABC Radio yesterday showcasing her research on multilingualism and the brain! 🧠 🔍

📻 Today I had the opportunity to join the ABC on #LifeMatters radio to discuss a topic close to my heart (and PhD): The relationship between language learning and your brain 🧠 👏 Thanks to @abcnewsbot.bsky.social for inviting me and bringing my research to a wider audience. Such a cool experience!

Still reflecting on #VogueCodes Sydney Summit. This year's theme, "Optimism in Motion: Acting Now to Shape the Future", set the stage for #inspiring discussions about #innovation, #leadership, and creating #meaningful #change ✨ Thank you to Vogue Australia, feeling lucky to be a #womaninSTEM! 🌱

What happens to #cognition when we outsource language learning to #AI? Researchers at the MARCS Institute explore how learning a #language engages #memory, #attention, & #cognitive flexibility. 🔗 tinyurl.com/bdey7cv6 @oliviamaurice.bsky.social @markantoniou.bsky.social @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

If AI can translate instantly, why learn another language?

There’s a difference between using a tool to assist you, and using one to replace cognitive effort.

AI can now translate speech in real time across dozens of languages. So why learn another language at all? Because translation is not the same as participation. New piece with @oliviamaurice.bsky.social. Link: theconversation.com/if-ai-can-tr... #bilingualism #multilingualism #ai #translation

🌏 Grateful to present at #ASSBI + #NZSIGN in NZ ✨ My datablitz explored how multilingualism relates to cognitive and psychosocial ageing 📊 Findings suggest multilingualism is linked to both costs and benefits, supporting selective adaptive resilience rather than a single “global advantage” model 🌱

"Not just living longer, but living better." Meet @oliviamaurice.bsky.social, one of MARCS Writing Fellowship awardees. Olivia is a cognitive neuroscientist exploring how #multilingualism shapes cognitive, sensory, and affective resilience as we age. #MARCSHDR #CognitiveNeuroscience #AgedCare

👏 Congrats to @oliviamaurice.bsky.social on winning Best Poster at the @istaart.bsky.social Neuroscience Next #Conference, hosted by NICM Health Research Institute. 🎉 We're also so proud of Naomi Folder who also presented about her amazing #research on #co-designed #dementia communication tools!

Happy to share that I was awarded Best Poster at @istaart.bsky.social Alzheimer's Association #NeuroscienceNext hosted by #NICM, @westernsydneyu.bsky.social ! I presented work from my PhD on the dynamic effects of #age and #multilingual experience on everyday #executive and #memory #function 🧠 🌱

👏Congrats to this quarter's MARCS Writing Fellowship awardees, @oliviamaurice.bsky.social & @aramirezharo3.bsky.social! Proud to support our #PhD candidates in publishing their #research. Can't wait to see their work in print! #AcademicWriting #MARCSHDR #CogNeuro @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

The lack of science literacy in this country is intentional.

Congrats to all of our 2025 HDR Forum participants for another fantastic day of showcasing your research, especially award winners: Sami Arja, @aramirezharo3.bsky.social @oliviamaurice.bsky.social & Mina Aghaei. We may be biased, but our HDR Candidates are the best! #PhD

I watched a little bit of MAFS (for the first time ever), and they keep calling it a "social experiment", and every time they say it, I think "This is why ethics boards exist"...

Proud to share this latest work conducted alongside colleagues at UOW, UNE and ACU! Such a great team effort and cool experience applying cognitive science and developmental psychology to educational policy. More to come soon! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

“Just a little midnight snack”, I whisper, knowing full well I have no concept of what time it is, what day it is, or what the words ‘little snack’ even mean.
