"I don’t know how this is not the biggest social justice issue facing the Department of Education right now. The only kids who are dyslexic who are getting a good education are disproportionately upper class and white.” thecity.nyc/2019/09/readin…

My MRI Mother and Child has become the focus of a controversy this weekend. Here’s the story. Thread. 1/14

It's free for anyone to use and adapt. The slides are not very wordy, but the labs are stand-alone and should be used as such: github.com/rdgao/COGS118C… They go through the intuition behind the DFT, and subsequent time-frequency (& other) analyses for neural signals.

Tomorrow is a big day! We launch our Learning by Scientific Design network – a group devoted to putting cognitive science principles into practice at teacher-prep programs. Read more about it here: deansforimpact.org/learning-by-sc…

This entire thread is a master class on how to engage in productive dialogue with teachers re employing the science of reading — or really any learning science — in practice. Start with empathy rather than condemnation.

I was unprepared for counting to make me laugh and cry this Saturday morning. Sesame Street is a national treasure.

Indeed we are — if you want to work with future teachers on how to apply learning science in practice, this is the job for you!

Was recently reminded of this article- worth a read, whether you're a scientist or not: "Intellectual humility: the importance of knowing you might be wrong" by Brian Resnick vox.com/science-and-he…

I've been relatively quiet on social media for a while, but came here to say-- working Brainwave Learning Center has been a dream, and I'm so excited we get to bring another person onto the team! 🧠 Please share and distribute this widely to your networks! Apps reviewed on a rolling basis.

WE'RE HIRING A NEW TEACHING PROFESSOR IN NEUROBIOLOGY! 🧠🚨 Join UCSD BioSciences in developing our undergraduate neurobiology curricula & in advancing the research on teaching & learning at UC San Diego! Apply at this link, details in thread.👇 apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/JPF02972

Last chance to nominate someone or yourself for the IMBES trainee board! Roles of Co-president, Secretary, and Research Chair are available. Elections will be held in December!

"Modern neuroscience research can shed light on the limitations of the brain in how it deals with large numbers—limitations that have likely factored in to how the American public perceives and responds to COVID-related deaths." @lindseyhasak Liz Toomarian stanford.io/3LNqSif

1/3 I am recruiting graduate students interested in understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms that support mathematical cognition and executive functions and how those relate to math development. Join me in Nashville at Vanderbilt! Due Dec. 1st . Reach out if interested!

How do we make sense of unimaginable numbers? And why do we need to? Listen to our hour about unimaginable numbers with Sabine Nooten, Liz Toomarian, and Edward Tufte, anytime, wherever you get your podcasts: trib.al/wgi1JKJ

So excited to be growing the BLC team, and to get to work more closely with the Learning Specialists at Synapse! Looking for someone eager to work at the intersection of EdNeuro, learning sciences, and learner differences. Happy to answer any questions about this unique role!

Let's chat about applications for developmental cognitive neuroscience in educational contexts at Flux 2023! Join Jennie Grammer, Liz Toomarian, and fangwang in this symposium, moderated by @RachelRRomeo & Bruce McCandliss.
