Indiana University, home of one of the best cognitive science programs in the world, appears to be cancelling its undergrad cog sci program. Fascist ghouls
continuing their horrid torrent of destruction.

I’m indebted to the entire @IUBloomington CogSci community and to @sfiscience for incredible intellectual engagement with my research. Finally, this wouldn’t have happened without TCTS (thinkcognitive.org/en) introducing me to cognitive science in the first place ❀️

This would never have been possible without the support of my family and friends across my Russian and US homes, my mentors (especially Rob Goldstone, who taught me nearly everything) and the letter writers.

The lab will focus on studying the cognitive mechanisms of discovery, including experimentation, theory building, and the learning of scientific concepts, with the goal of better understanding and improving science. I’ll be hiring soon (more info here: mdubova.com/lab)!

As a psych undergrad in St. Petersburg 6 years ago, I never imagined I’d be starting my own cognitive science lab at one of the world’s best research environments.

I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be starting a Cognitive Epistemology Lab at @BerkeleyPsych in Fall 2026!
