10 years since starting the @dcnlab_ut at @UTAustin in the fabulous @UTPsychology 🧠department. Quite an adventure with lots of new discovery and growth, but maybe none as impressive as this (child development is so cool):

Past and present (missing Tin!) @dcnlab_ut lab members @FluxSociety @Flux_Congress #Flux2024 @iamdamion @t_nugiel @PorterBlaire Such a great conference @masherid ! 🤩🧠🤩

@dcnlab_ut will be at Flux 2024 this weekend! 🧠@FluxSociety @church_lang

Hey sciencers! I am recruiting graduate students this year in Psychology so reach out if you are interested in studying the development of control and academic skills using fMRI and other tools. Please spread the word! @FluxSociety @UTPsychology @PorterBlaire @iamdamion

We have an exciting TT job available in Psychology, Natural Behavior and Computation at UT! We're looking for researchers who apply advanced computational approaches to high-density behavioral data collected in everyday environments. More details: apply.interfolio.com/149500

Happy speakers post-symposium! @t_nugiel @PorterBlaire @dcnlab_ut Jacob Cohen, Margolis lab

Anyone have kid science book recs, esp on genetics? Middle elementary level. Please and thanks!

Congrats to Dr. Bradley Schlaggar for receiving our 2024 Huttenlocher Award! Dr. Schlaggar's work examines the development of the brain's functional network architecture, and we can not wait to hear more about it at Flux Congress. Stay tuned for more insight into his career!

Last kiddo done in our “pre-summer” part of our #nsf Summer Proj, studying changes in reading, math, & control 🧠over summer break! Grateful to the lab & the 200 families from this summer and the past 3 years! Next up: “post summer” in Aug! @dcnlab_ut @PorterBlaire @UTPsychology

"A longitudinal examination of executive function abilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and puberty in #adolescence," by @PorterBlaire,, and @church_lang from @UTAustin; and @_memitchell (@UNCPsych) in #ChildDevelopment Journal (2023): doi.org/10.1111/cdev.1…

so delighted that @dcnlab_ut RA alumnae and former @UTPsychology honors students @aliceaizza and @MiriamEOrtega have each won a #NSFGRFP this year! These scientists are rockstars in their current spots at UCLA and Columbia. So so proud! #HookEm

Look who decided to stop by @UMN_MIDB !!! The one and only @church_lang … @flux @Flux_Congress 2023 program chair… …spittin’ some knowledge about Task Control and Brain Development!

Proud of @EliyaBenAsher and @PorterBlaire for co-heading a really interesting and fun project using ABCD behavioral and survey data to study influences on executive function. Check it out now in @PsychScience! @UTPsychology …ls-sagepub-com.ezproxy.lib.utexas.edu/doi/10.1177/09…

Congrats to @PorterBlaire for a phenomenal week! Successful dissertation proposal, won a graduate continuing fellowship, and got a symposium accepted at @IMBESoc ‘24 conference in Belgium! Whew! Celebrate!! 🎉🤩🥳 @dcnlab_ut @UTPsychology

🚨So excited to share our new paper with the @texasldcenter team now out in Cerebral Cortex doi.org/10.1093/cercor…!! We examined functional connectivity of cognitive control, reading, and math🧠systems in native Spanish speaking English learners.

Proud to be part of a special issue in MBE on EF & reading, coming from The Dyslexia Foundation's @yesread 2022 Symposium. Amazing conference, amazing perspectives on EF and education! @RachelRRomeo @jdyeatman @texasldcenter @MCPER_EDU onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1751228x/2…

The PhD journey is always unique and always so special. DOCTOR @EliyaBenAsher did an astonishing amount of great work both in the lab, and for the department community, @UTPsychology and I’m so proud and excited to see what she does next! @UTAustin @dcnlab_ut #phd 🤘🧠👩‍🎓

That's a wrap #Flux2023! GRATEFUL to speakers, @FluxSociety, Podium, Flux Board, and MY COMMITTEE! @DeannaJGreene @AndrewCLynn @t_nugiel @TracyRigginsPhD @YeeLeeShing1 @JASilvers @JnotJuliette @E_M_McCormick @smarek0502 Anna vD, Kate Mills. @masherid will soar in '24! C U there!
