Excited to share that my first-ever first-author paper (w/ @atabk.bsky.social @AngeliqueDelarazan @zreagh.bsky.social) is now out in PNAS! Building a story to link two objects boosts associative memory and inference, but not memory for the objects themselves. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧵

Active linking through narratives facilitates associative inference | PNAS

In daily life, we often draw inferences about novel associations from prior experiences. This ability, associative inference, is thought to be a ke...

Excited to announce a new publication focused on sex differences in hippocampal subfield age-related changes! Thanks especially to Drs @giorgia-picci.bsky.social and Tony Wilson for all their help. 💖 #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence link.springer.com/article/10.1...

High-resolution MRI evidence for age- and sex-related changes in hippocampal subfield volume during healthy aging - GeroScience

Hippocampal volume is associated with memory and is critical in Alzheimer’s disease, but few studies have examined hippocampal subfield volume changes during healthy aging. Herein, we utilize submilli...

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be completing my PhD in Clinical Psychology starting this fall at The University of Kansas! Thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far (too many amazing people to list here) 💖 #PsychSciSky

Excited to announce another publication in Communications Biology looking at theta/gamma activity during a semantic priming task in MEG, particularly hippocampal oscillations! Huge thanks to @magrempe.bsky.social and Dr. Tony Wilson! #neuroskyence www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Very cool idea to view research studies as opportunities for science communication! A more thoughtful approach to debriefing and other aspects of research might help the public better understand how science works and why it is valuable. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky doi.org/10.1037/xge0...

What a wonderful #INS2026inPhiladelphia ! Sad to leave but glad to have been here. #PsychSciSky

Day 2 of #INS2026inPhiladelphia is packed with trainee-led presentations! Check out this 🧵 with some of the trainee poster presentations and paper talks planned for today! Kudos to all our awesome in-training members!

Excited to head out to #INS2026inPhiladelphia where I’ll be presenting TWICE! Find me from 3-4:15pm on Wed at P1-71 and 9:30-10:45am on Thur at P2-09 Check out my colleague, Lan, during the late breaking poster session (Sat 11:30am-12:45pm) at P10-72 #PsychSciSky

OK so are there any other grants incoming (hopefully) clinical psych PhD students should try to apply for?

🧪 And House appropriators say: no cuts to NIH budget! House subcommittee version just came out (link below). Holds NIH flat at $48 billion. To be clear: this is far from over. But a good sign that science still matters across both sides of aisle. YOUR VOICE MATTERS!!

🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost! Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%). "Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov. ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.

Extracellular vesicle heterogeneity through the lens of multiomics

Silva and colleagues refine an EV isolation method to optimize recovery of cancer-derived large oncosomes (LOs). This approach enables high-yield profiling by mass spectrometry and bulk/single-LO RNA-seq. A consistent set of credentialed proteins is enriched in LOs from various cancer sources, including patient plasma.

So glad to stand together with you Dr. Yassine! @yassinelab1.bsky.social #standupforscience2025

It was a truly great day to engage with science as part of #standupforscience2025 ! #ScienceForAll

The Scharschmidt Lab #standupforscience2025 San Francisco!

#StandUpForScience2025 #Sacramento

Shot from the Sacramento #StandUpForScience2025 crowd. So many turned out to express their appreciation for public health, environmental, and genomic research and to express solidarity in the face of the flailing attacks launched against them of late. #SaveScience

It felt really good to be out with so many others at the #Standupforscience2025 rally in DC today. So much energy in the crowd. Nothing like getting thousands of nerds together!

My kiddo came with me, too. When he heard that they were cutting money for science research, he decided to skip his class movie party at school today and come with me. He wouldn't let me paint the lab coat because he might need it someday if he wants to be a scientist. 💜 #Standupforscience2025
