Obvs, Ashley is an excellent researcher - quant skills, writing, deep thinking, curious - all the things.

She's writing up a killer dissertation (and some other stuff, too!) and plans to defend this year. Feel free to get in touch, and please RT!

I'm lucky enough that Ashley has attended my lab meetings for the last few years and disseminated some of this knowledge to us cog-focused folk. We also realized lots of areas that were really under-researched: how do our "cognitive maps" change as our environments do? As we do?

Ashley's approach blends social psychology with environmental psychology, and her work puts a unique spin on concepts we encounter in spatial navigation and cognitive psychology, too: what is a place? Why do we want to spend time in the places we do? How does this affect us?

Job market alert!

Are you hiring a post-doc? You absolutely must consider the brilliant @ashleykrause.bsky.social

I was lucky enough to write a paper with Ashley on a topic I knew oh so little about and learned a TON.

The SCANN Lab will have access to a brand-new imaging center (lnkd.in/ghub5NM7) and will now be located in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex!

While a lot will change for us, much will stay the same. My research program will continue to examine the cognitive neuroscience of spatial navigation using #fMRI and #virtualreality in younger and older adults.

📰 Professional Update 📰

I’m thrilled to announce that I am joining the University of Texas at Arlington Psychology Department as an Assistant Professor starting in Fall 2025!

Thank you @stevenmweisberg.com for organising this online event and the wonderful hosting!

So glad for the turnout and the discussion! Thank you @olivia.science !!

Barnstorming talk and Q&A from @olivia.science on her recent paper on cognitive maps and small cakes. Really thought provoking and now my head hurts. Also, I could listen to Olivia & @irisvanrooij.bsky.social talk about theory all day!

Sounds pretty cool, and not hard to prototype. Works well for text + code + data.
