Thanks for shareing! Love the 🛹 to 🚗 image. This confirmed my intuition for our education software. I am constantly taming the "oh that would be so cool if it also did this" inclination!

It’s mind-blowing that disproven instructional methods are still widespread in schools—undermining children’s confidence and learning. #ScienceOfReading #Phonics #EducationReform #StopTheGuessing www.itv.com/news/2025-02...

📣I’ve published a primer to teach your child to read!

This book is special to me. As a mom, I wanted to give my kids the best possible start in life, and that journey inspired my work in #cognitivescience.

The FDA does not know what chemicals are added to foods A rule concocted in the 1950s for vinegar and spices has had unintended effects

Ever compare your kids candy colors in the U.S. and Europe? 🍭

FINALLY!!! The FDA banned Red 3, a dye linked to cancer in animals, from food. Already prohibited in the EU.

An A4 colouring page with a large central graphic showing cartoons of many different brain cells intertwined in a complex structure, all with happy faces. Title Reads: “Colour your learning: Brain Cells”. Below the main graphic are five small graphics showing the different characters: Neuron, Oligodendrocyte, Micro-glia, Protoplasmic Asyrocyte and Fibrous Astrocyte. Each has a small explainer.

Looking for some nice, clean, kid-friendly neuro content? How about a colouring-page about brain cells and they ways they interact?

Includes plain language explainers about different types of brain cells. I use this #OER in my #CogPsych classes 😉

I find this quote flawed. Unlike different species, people share core capabilities, and tests measure specific skills. That’s why there’s no single test in life but many—each offering a chance to discover and grow our unique strengths.
