I'm looking forward to attending, seeing interesting research & catching up with colleagues before the festive season starts (so soon)!

If you find yourself at the Healthy Ageing Showcase at Heriot-Watt University today, do pop by my poster on our most recent study using social robots to support (collaborative) learning in older age (with Sarah E. MacPherson, Malwina Niechcial & Dr Mauro Dragone).😊#HealthyAgeingHWU

Come see my poster today at the Healthy Ageing Showcase Heriot-Watt University! This is a project Dr Kelly Wolfe (she/her), Sarah E. MacPherson and I have been working on validating an online task measuring collaborative learning in older adults (built using Gorilla Experiment Builder). #HealthyAgeingHWU

Join Dr Johnston & Dr Dr Kelly Wolfe (she/her) next Thursday to see how they adapted the Barrier Task for online collaborative learning with Prolific + 🦍's tools! Plus, catch a live demo on adding Multiplayer to your own research. Don’t miss out—register now! shorturl.at/gJYCi?

Yesterday, I presented our work on collaborative learning using social robots at the Scottish Cognitive Ageing Network (SCAN) meeting. I also want to give a wee shout-out to my wonderful former boss Sarah E. MacPherson. I was lucky to work for her 3.5 years ago and to now have her as a collaborator/friend! ✨

A big thanks to everyone who came today, who presented their work, and our fab organiser Lizzie Bradford for hosting us. If you're not a member of SCAN yet but would like to be, send us a message or sign up via the link in the bio. As you can see, we're a friendly bunch!

If you're interested in hearing more about this project, Matthew Johnston will be presenting the poster at the Age & Cognition conference next week in Pavia, Italy. Come meet us there to chat statistical learning!

EUCAS2025 Pavia Università di Pavia Great to see a strong Scottish Cognitive Ageing Network (SCAN) contingent too, with posters from Dr Kelly Wolfe (she/her), Matthew Johnston, and Maria Arberg Nygaard, with Shaimaa Elhag and Malwina Niechcial represented by Tasmin Rookes presenting their Cognitive Frailty Network pump priming project

I had a wonderful time presenting work at Age & Cognition and seeing colleagues from SCAN!
