Many thanks to @kzernike who stopped by to discuss her new book with @dshohamy and a rapt audience @zuckermanbrain! A powerful conversation about scientific breakthroughs and the continuing battle for equal opportunity. #theexceptions
A must read if you care about science, history, or equality; if you are a grad student or dept head; if you want to feel good about society's progress or want to feel energized to keep fighting the good fight. Thank you @kzernike for writing and @ArthurUhimov for sharing
Full of Joy, #FHScholars@HHMNews!
It is a high honor to be recognized under the mission of Dr. Freeman Hrabowski and the alongside the mastery that represents HHMI.
I sincerely thank you for supporting and elevating the work we do.
I am extremely humbled and excited to be named @HHMINEWS Freeman Hrabowski Scholar. This substantial long-term investment will allow me to push boundaries in our research while I continue to support the careers of the next generation of scientists from all backgrounds.
Final chance to get your application in by May 1, 2023 for the @ZuckermanBrain Postdoctoral Fellowship program! We're searching for talented, early-career scientists.
Benefits, eligibility and where to apply are available at bit.ly/zipostdoctoralfellows.

New preprint with @nathanieldaw and @DShohamy!
When do people use episodic memory for decisions?
Here we address this question by putting episodic memory in direct competition with learning from trial-and-error. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Congrats to the brilliant @leslievosshall on receiving @Columbia's Spencer award, together with Kristin Scott @BerkeleyMCB and for an amazing lecture delivered with inimitable style!
