Starting work on my first year project, broadly about how the source of feedback affects educational outcomes. Just curious, how would you prefer to receive feedback on a math task?

Excited to have officially completed my first semester of grad school! Thanks especially to my primary advisor efyfe for all your support and guidance during this particularly challenging transition. Looking forward to next semester already!

Your family is quickly approaching the year 2021! Also, SCIENCE is quickly approaching 2021! At Children Helping Science, you can find hundreds of online activities to help university researchers learn about how children think and learn. Find the perfect activity for your family!

Fortunate to be part of such an amazing research team during the start of the pandemic. They all helped me gain the skills and confidence to continue developmental research under any circumstances. Excited to let(zoom based) data collection for my first year project at IU begin!

Looking forward to attending my first day of #SPSP2021 with what is bound to be a fascinating preconference!

Some people say grad school is a marathon, not a sprint. It's neither. It's not a race at all. It's about becoming part of - and contributing to - an intellectual and professional community.

Very informative and helpful Bayesian workshop this afternoon! You all are amazing instructors - I learned a lot! #SRCD2021

My advisor efyfe does such cool, exciting, and important work! ManyClasses is one of her many innovative projects.

Researchers use a computer model to explain how #children integrate different types of information during word learning. New study in Nature Human Behaviour by @elManuBohn (MPI-EVA Leipzig), MH Tessler 🇺🇦, Megan Merrick & Michael C. Frank. See: bit.ly/3wVfRUJ & nature.com/articles/s4156…

Out in Child Dev! What counts as information in early learning? We show that children jointly consider others’ emotional expressions and prior knowledge when exploring a novel causal toy, providing further evidence for “emotion as information.” w/Hyowon (Hyo) Gweon tinyurl.com/yunk399u

Best practices in online testing of children: make sure that the child is not holding a chicken! (Mark Sheskin at #CDS2022)

Reviving academic twitter for #CDS2022! Stop by my poster on Friday (tomorrow) evening! “The effects of person vs. computer feedback of children’s motivation in mathematics” - poster number 2-H-36 during poster session #2 from 5:45-7:00pm. See you there!

Qualifying exams is quite the process... almost done with paper 1 and my brain hurts!! Can't wait to do it all over again for paper 2, starting after the holiday weekend 🙃

Looking forward to giving my first official conference talk at #CogSci2022 on Friday morning! Come check out what is bound to be an amazing oral talk session on education!

It's a strange experience when the last week of summer is loaded with the same degree of anxiety as a typical finals week. Almost done with qualifying exams!!

I am part of the Graduate Student Council for IU's Brain and Psychological Sciences Department. We are trying to get a grasp on the field level norms and expectations for qualifying exams in order to better advocate for students. Please comment on your quals experience! Thanks!

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.
