And here is video on the Memrise competition that resulted in the paper above. It was such an interesting experience to have been part of this industrial collaboration: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnS8...

PAPER PUBLISHED: I worked on this project during my postdoc at WashU St. Louis in 2014. Our lab contributed to this Memrise competition to test the best way to study foreign vocabulary and we were one of the finalists. Kudos to Rosalind Potts for leading on this.

It was great to meet you in person too. Thanks for your summary of your talk. I'm sad I'm missing it tomorrow, but it'll be so useful and I'll catch up on the recording. Have a good time in Glasgow.

Had a great session with the associates of the Møller Institute at University of Cambridge. There was full engagement from the audience with many questions that led to insightful discussions. Can't wait to see how they will apply the science of learning to their various contexts and programmes.

I'm trialling a new work schedule: I'll be working compressed hours in September, i.e. an hour longer Mon-Thu, and half-day on Fridays. Let's see how it goes. If you have any experience with this kind of work schedule, please share. What are common pitfalls/benefits & how well does it work for you?

This is particularly exciting because I actually studied business administration as a minor at the University of Mannheim and I cannot wait to re-immerse myself with aspects of organisational psychology and combining it with the science of learning.

Møller Institute | Leadership and Professional Development The Møller Institute, located in Cambridge, inspires over 25,000 executives annually through executive education programmes, meetings, conferences, & events.

Delighted to be delivering the 'Best Practice in Adult Learning' session at the Associate Development Day for the Møller Institute (University of Cambridge). Looking forward to applying the science of learning to knowledge/skills acquisition in leadership training. www.mollerinstitute.com

We delivered a symposium on "Cognitive and motivational individual differences in the effectiveness of desirable difficulties" at #earli2025 - highlighting effort belief, goal orientation, and prior knowledge as important factors. Discussion slides here: linktr.ee/drckt

When you are the symposium discussant (but also a learning scientist and enthusiastic about practicing what you preach) you must start your discussion with a quiz to engage the audience in some good old retrieval practice of the talks they just heard.

It's not recorded unfortunately.

Join our symposium on "Cognitive and Motivational Individual Differences in the Effectiveness of Desirable Difficulties" today at 12:15 in HS01.15. #earli2025
Looking forward to discuss the interesting work presented as part of this symposium.

There are two items left on my to do list before I go on annual leave tomorrow at 5pm. It's doable. I can see the horizon. Last stretch! 🏖️🩴🌴

Today was our inaugural Level 2 Psychology Lab Development Day. As a team we generated ideas on how to improve teaching in the next academic year. I cannot be prouder of this engaged teaching team (and yes, we have a Level 2 Psychology cat mascot, Parzivel).

Last year I was on the verge of burning out. This year I delivered a plenary at the IATEFL conference. The moment I stepped on that stage I knew this was special, this was what I love doing: communicate the science of learning to a large audience. The article captures my academic identity very well.
