Very excited and honoured to be an invited speaker for the 3rd annual FIT'NG conference. It's an amazing group of researchers focusing on neuroimaging of early development using EEG, fNIRS, fMRI/MRI, ultrasound. Hope to see you there!
📢Dr. Lauren Emberson @LLEmberson is the invited speaker for our annual conference's scientific session on "Early Cognitive Development". ⏰Join us in Baltimore, Sept 25 - 26, 2024. 🧠#FITNG2024
Applications for our Diversity Mentorship Program are open! This program provides mentorship and professional development for students from diverse, under-resourced, traditionally underrepresented, and/or marginalized backgrounds. bit.ly/UBCPsychDivers…
The new Standing Committee on Science and Research’s report on Canadian scholarships and fellowships includes ALL #SupportOurScience recommendations! Change is urgently needed - let's implement solutions in 2024! Read our full response here: shorturl.at/ezAPV
2) post-doctoral scholar with experience in fMRI analysis to work on multiple NIH-funded projects aimed at identifying brain-based markers of cultural identity & cognitive processes relevant to mitigation of mental health and substance use disorders
3) Research Assistant to support NIH-funded community-engaged research protocols that span focus groups and qualitative data collection to multimodal functional neuroimaging sessions.
I love the writing accountability and supportive community at the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity. If you're curious, check out their 14 day writing challenge. Starting Oct 9th. Free. I'll be doing it: facultydiversity.org/14-day-challen…
And.. I'm accepting a PhD student this year! We research infant vision & soc/affective communication w/ EEG, behavior, ML, & soon fNIRS bayetlab.com 🧠👶🤖 Come study infant brain & cognition in DC! 🌸 ➡️ Apply by 12/1 american.edu/cas/neuroscien… (GRE optional) #FITNG2023
Sad to have to miss #FITNG2023, but the fantastic Kira Ashton (@ok_its_kira), Benazir Neree, & Dany Olivares made it! 🎉 ➡️ Benazir received a @FIT_NGIn Young Investigator Award, and presents poster 1-D-35 today! ➡️Kira is presenting poster 1-B-12, also today! Come say hi! 👋
Totally agree. It is terrifying that climate change is human caused but that also means (at this point) the solution is also humans. I believe that we can fix this. It won't be easy but the best things in life never are, right?
Climate change is real. The warming we’ve observed is entirely human-caused.* Its impacts are serious, including making heat waves, wildfires, hurricanes, droughts and floods more severe and more dangerous.** But there are solutions and we can fix it.*** 💪🌱
With wildfires threatening cities from Yellowknife to Kelowna, Canada's climate crisis has reached a terrifying new pitch. But @solmamakwa and Indigenous leaders insist there's another way: stop building pipelines, invest in alternatives, and respect Indigenous rights.
Looking like an amazing workshop. I'll be out of the office, otherwise I'll definitely be there. @ProfSamWass @LaraJPierce thanks for sharing your great work with the field.
It’s not too late to register, ICIS webinar: Cutting edge approaches in developmental EEG. Looking forward to presentations by Lindsay Bowman, Sam Wass @profsamwass, Lara Pierce @LaraJPierce. July 31. Registration is FREE for ICIS members! More info at infantstudies.org/icis-online-ev…
Congrats!!! Amazing Master's work and super fun defenses. Hope you are celebrating all of your hard work so far!
Our lab is celebrating some newly minted Master's students! Congratulations to Maria Clara ( @mgilbrandao) and Miranda on their successful MA defenses this week! 🎉🥂 Onwards to the PhD! @UBCPsych
Thanks to YOU @DrSWijeakumar @SammMcCann Laura Pirazzoli for a fantastic job organizing and inviting me.
It was an absolute pleasure organising and hosting this workshop on Inverted Responses with @SammMcCann and @wonderLus. Excellent presentations from Judit Gervain, @LLEmberson, @DeltaSpencer and @gemmabale. Not to mention, thoughtful questions from attendees! @FIT_NGIn
Fantastic piece @DuncanAstle, Mark and @DanAkarca.
V. excited by this in @TrendsCognSci. A long time in the writing, w/ Mark Johnson and @DanAkarca. Can computational models tell us something fundamental about cognitive and brain development? We think so. We term it "computational neuroconstructivism". doi.org/10.1016/j.tics…
INVERTED RESPONSES. Why do we observe them in developmental datasets? Register to hear unique perspectives from Judit Gervain, @LLEmberson, @gemmabale and @DeltaSpencer at our first FIT'NG fNIRS Virtual Workshop. fitng.org/fnirs-virtual-… 1/2
Amazing workshop series on #fnirs with a focus on infancy research/researchers! Highly recommended.
‼️We are so excited to announce our fNIRS Virtual Workshop Series July 14-19‼️ This series of 4 virtual workshops organized by @DrSWijeakumar @wonderLus @SammMcCann Find out more and register here: fitng.org/fnirs-virtual-…
