I am asking a graduate student to read ten papers on emotion regulation to start getting a handle on the literature. Which are *must* reads, in your opinion? Obviously Gross (1998) and the update in (2015). What else?

Something to reflect on today...
We live in a research culture where overwork is accepted as a status symbol and productivity is associated with self-worth
You are not = papers, grants, awards etc
At the end of your life, do you really think these will matter?

What it takes to sustain performance under pressure across many occupations, from firefighters and paramedics to sport, performing arts and the military, remains an art β but science is rapidly catching up. @ProfYucel @lucyalbertella 1/6

So what? This neuroscience informed expert consensus will inform a range of high-performance applications, from measuring cognitive fitness, to training & protecting it from performance-degrading effects of stress, fatigue & distraction. The next study is underway! 6/6

Happy International Women's Day! π©π»βπ¬π
There can be a lot of tokenistic messaging around IWD. While we celebrate the incredible achievements of women at BrainPark, we also challenge you to reflect on the myriad of ways women uphold their families, workplaces, and communities. π

Excited to have our paper published! Very proud of this work and the huge team of collaborators who made it happen. This is a very exciting space! doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1β¦
What does it takes to sustain high-performance under pressure (in first-responders, elite sports, performing arts and the military)? Over 60 world experts joined forces to find the answer. Turns out there are 10 psychological factors: doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1β¦

Working with the best of the best is truly humbling. Congrats @ProfYucel!!
Proud to be named a Highly Cited Researcher 2022. Only 0.1% (or 1 in 1000) of all researchers earn this distinction. No doubt this is a latent effect of amazing individuals and teams I have had the privelage to work with. #HighlyCited2022 @ClarivateAG @BrainPark @MonashUni

After 3 yearsβ¦ we finally had our much anticipated #BrainPark Retreat! π§ π
The theme was to reflect on our journey, connect with each other, and celebrate our achievements as a lab.
Special guest speakers, panel discussions, an ultra-competitive BP Olympics.. what a time! π―

Strong emotions can help to explain behavior, but they don't excuse misbehavior.
You can't always control what you feel. You do get to decide whether, when, and how you express it.
A mark of emotional intelligence is being thoughtful about the impact of your moods on others.
