For those of you just getting to know me, I'm an assistant professor in psychology at the University of Utah. I study attention and memory failures in applied settings. In particular, I study these failures in legal contexts.

Hi everyone! 👋🏼
I'm excited to see this platform is taking off for academics because I know (from the last platform) that connecting produces powerful opportunities! Hopefully we can create an even better version here!

My #1 would probably be...
What I wish they knew: that academia is too intensely demanding
What I wish they did: be more compassionate to themselves & accept not being able to do it all
This is more my wish for them, not something I expect because it's hard to learn & accept this

Probably not #1, but...
What I wish they knew: the intense cognitive load of being a professor
What I wish they did: slight adjustments to things (e.g. more reminders) that would follow naturally from compassionately taking this cognitive load into account
