Why Do Some People Always Get Lost? | Science | Smithsonian Magazine smithsonianmag.com/science-nature…

The SCANN Lab bike group is back! It's a bitter sweet end of the semester so far. We're celebrating Chengsi Yi's first year at UF but also taking the time to hang out with Jeff before he leaves us for his own grad school adventure 😢

I have no wish to leave this valley of tears today, but if that happens, let it be known that I was a honest scientist. In >40 years of science, I have been wrong, sloppy, lazy, insufficiently vigilant/competent, and much more - but I was never dishonest.

This trend is silly, but it’s an incredible reminder of the modality specificity for this form of memory.

Although most of can type rapidly, we have no explicit recall for which keys are where on the keyboard.

You don’t get Michael Jordan’s “flu game” without the flu.

Why bother when my response to this poll is predetermined?

Wait embiids knee is bleeding!?

Please apply or message us for more info!

Blackthorne: You tell him that the NIH consistently fails to support Nobel-winning science! NIH could not identify true innovation if it slapped them in the face!

Mariko: The Anjin is angry his grant was Not Discussed.

Thinking of renaming SCANN Lab writing club Tortured Poets Department.

For the first time ever i'm going to have to give $$$ back to NIH. They just disallowed our NCE request

I was too cautious with the $ due to the pandemic. According to the National Institutes of HEALTH, COVID conditions have now 'normalized' and are not extenuating circumstances

Have we stopped measuring, understanding, or caring about the impact of COVID-19?

Not minimizing the loss of an NCE (something our lab was also not granted), but what about those pre tenure? In PHDs or post docs? Those with kids?

As predicted, the institutions have forgotten.

A big congratulations to Zoe Cheung for passing her dissertation defense! Zoe is the last of Jeff Farrar’s students to complete our program and he would have been so proud!

Great time sharing the protocol for our educational videos about weight-related #misinformation online using our STOP method— hopefully full results will be published soon! Great work by UF College of Health & Human Performance EXHALE student Chrishann Walcott to lead these interviews! #AAHB 2024 #AAHB

Experience may matter more than innate ability when it comes to a sense of direction trib.al/7I354v9

Yes, same! I thought it was a thoughtful and balanced take on variability in navigation abilities. Even though it's not in press that I consider myself somewhat navigationally challenged.
