Join us in beautiful Ireland for the biannual meeting of the Society for Applied Research in Memory & Cognition #sarmac2025 https://www.sarmac2025.org/

That was another successful #SARMAC2025, held in Ireland 🇮🇪 this time. I look forward to continuing these conversations and collaborations! If you’d like access to any of the manuscripts, thought pieces, or ongoing projects I mentioned during the conference then please do reach out.

Here’s @lkfazio.bsky.social doing a discussion for a disinformation symposium at @sarmac2025.bsky.social. She talked about the attacks on science and education. Lisa is a leader in standing up for science. Here she is talking about what we can do. For the no kings day, from our conference overseas.

Had a blast at #SARMAC2025 presenting error correction research I’ve been working on with Dr. Hannah Hausman @ the UCSC Memory & Metacognition Lab. Thanks to everyone who stopped by for your insightful questions, and to my fellow presenters for a fascinating 3 days! Excited for the finale tomorrow!
