Looking forward to representing @fnim-lab.bsky.social and presenting a poster at #SfN25, alongside several of my lab mates! Can't wait 😬

We had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Louis Renoult (@renoultlouis.bsky.social) about all things memory! Here’s a preview of what we discussed and stay tuned for the full release of the episode later this week!

New Paper Alert! de Chastelaine et al found that young adults are able to employ 'retrieval gating' to allow mnemonic content to be aligned with a retrieval goal, but older adults failed to do this even when their memory was boosted to match young adults! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

AI, peer review and the human activity of science When researchers cede their scientific judgement to machines, we lose something important.

A few months ago, Nature published how-to guide for using ChatGPT to write your peer reviews in 30 minutes.

This is, of course, a horrible idea. Here’s my response with @jbakcoleman.bsky.social .

Chess.com stats widget preview

New blog post 📣!

I built a simple widget that fetches any Chess.com user's stats. It can be easily embedded on a personal site or blog.

Check it out! josholivier.com/posts/post-5/

Designing and 3D printing a triathlon bike storage box

I wanted to print it in black or white, but all I had was orange TPU. Though it's kind of growing on me.

Check out more about how I made it here: josholivier.com/posts/post-4/

3D printed storage box on a triathlon bike

I designed and 3D printed a storage box for my triathlon bike! And it actually seems to work 😎

It’s orange, stretchy, and hopefully aerodynamic.

GitHub - josholiv/josh-website Contribute to josholiv/josh-website development by creating an account on GitHub.

Needless to say, I got a little carried away with this, but I'm super happy with how it turned out! I learned a lot from the whole process. I'm also open to feedback and suggestions for improvement :)

Probably my favorite part is this widget I built that automatically fetches my total workout distances for the year from Strava!

(on my About page: josholivier.com/about/)

I even added a button to change the unit of measure so my fellow Americans 🇺🇸 can understand how far a kilometer is:

Originally, I just meant for this site to be a basic landing page for my CV, but as I worked through the tutorial, I warmed up to the idea of making it into a blog as well.

Now, I plan on using it to post things related to personal projects and hobbies too:

I started with the @astro.build blog tutorial. The tutorial is great and I strongly recommend it as a starting point for learning to build a site from scratch!

I made a personal portfolio/CV website! 👇

This is something I've wanted to do for a while now, both for fun and to get better at coding. But mostly for fun 😄

New preprint! We found that age differences in the neural reinstatement of scene information are fully mediated by whole-brain cortical volume. We also found that reinstatement strength in the parahippocampal place area was associated with memory performance independently of volume and age.

Excited to share our new paper in Neurobiology of Aging! Kidwai et al found that recollection-related fMRI effects in the entorhinal cortex were predictive of memory change over 3 years in healthy older adults, when controlling for age and entorhinal volume. doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
