This award also carries special significance. My grandpa, Mel Hodge, was part of the 1960-61 class of the Stanford Sloan Program in Executive Management. It’s deeply meaningful not only to me but also to my entire family that we now share a connection to the Sloan Foundation.
I’m incredibly humbled and grateful to receive this award. I feel very lucky to do this work alongside brilliant mentors, thoughtful letter writers, and stellar colleagues and mentees. Whatever I’ve accomplished is really a reflection of the people I’ve learned from and worked with.
What episodic memory reveals about the default mode network osf.io/preprints/ps...
I share your frustration and I’m sorry you’re going through this. UCPath AI is a nightmare and I recently went through similar issues with lapses in UC-related insurance (with an injured ankle that requires care and doctor’s appointments, no less)
Welcome!! 🤗

I will be recruiting 🌟PhD students🌟 for my newish lab! If you're interested in learning & memory mechanisms applied to individual, interactive & collective behavior using computational modeling, real-world experiments and fMRI, email me! RTs much appreciated 🙏 rouhanilab.com
Columbia Psych is hiring *two* junior faculty in Cognitive Science/Neuroscience this year! If you work on cognition (broadly defined), submit your application materials as soon as possible (review starts Nov 1). If you have questions you can reach out to me by email! apply.interfolio.com/175428
Thrilled to see this paper out! It's the culmination of a project begun in the depths of the pandemic with Sabrina Karjack and @zoengo.bsky.social . We continue our exploration of how children generalize when their episodic memory is not yet mature.

I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

Hey DJT and GOP:
New press on our study linking the locus coeruleus to memory formation 🔵: newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/bra... .
“…at a time when legislation promises ‘big and beautiful change,’ it turns out one of the brain’s smallest players may have the biggest impact on how we understand and remember our lives.”

Super interesting!
These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.
Amazing opportunity! Bridget is the best 🌟
Congrats, Brynn! That’s awesome news 🎉
So proud of @erinmorrow.bsky.social for writing this moving piece about the importance of science funding. She’s an inspiration and powerful force for change.
I’m so sorry, Zach :-( losing a pet feels like losing a part of yourself. I’m so glad you had 16 great years together - she looks like such a sweet girl!
Very excited about this work led by the amazing @baileybh.bsky.social !
Emotions create vivid and lasting memories - but how are those memories organized? We find that negative emotions fragment experience, disrupting the flow of memory. Reframing negative feelings also carves up experiences, but in a way that supports integration and wellbeing.

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with Subbu Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia www.nature.com/articles/s41... that integrates 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this vital function.@mrccbu.bsky.social sky.social #neuroskyence #neuroscience
