Super excited to announce that I'll be joining Temple University as an assistant professor of Psychology and Neuroscience!

The Vision Learning and Development Lab will officially open its doors in Summer 2025!

A great new piece on infant neuroscience, from two of the best: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

My first (postdoc) fMRI paper is out! Together with the amazing Dr. Bridget Callaghan, who initiated and designed this project to begin with, and DAN LAB,
we show parental buffering effects on youth' amygdala and mPFC during fear learning. Specifically:

I'm starting a lab! This summer I'll join both the cognitive and developmental areas in the Psychology department at UNC Chapel Hill. I'm excited for and humbled by the opportunity. Here's a sneak peak at the lab: cogdevlab.org

“We need to not put such emphasis on the individual,” O’Donnell argues, & instead advocate for structural & policy changes including increased funding for research into maternal health. The ultimate goal should be to support parents before, during, & after pregnancy…” 👏👏👏

A dream position!

Take a tea break and explore our commentary to learn about the systems that harm trans people, how this affects research, and actionable ways to support trans people in STEMM cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Excited to present this work today with Anna Vannucci and the DAN LAB on adolescents' emotion differentiation at #AffectScience2024 . Looking forward to seeing you there and hearing your feedback!

Happy to announce my first paper of grad school is finally out! We used cryo-EM, electrophysiology, biophysical, and biochemical techniques to look at a unique inhibitor of a unique ion channel.

Happy to announce a #BCCCD24 pre-conference workshop 'Advances in infant neuroscience: What state-of-the-art imaging can reveal about the developing mind?' with wonderful Laurie Bayet @[email protected] Jessica Dubois Tristan Yates Moritz Koster (infant-neuroscience.github.io/getting-started) Details in🧵Please RT 1/n

If you're still around SfN this morning, I'll be presenting brand new, ongoing work on how sleep promotes the integration of new & existing memories. I'm very excited about where this work is headed, and would love to get thoughts & feedback!

Juliana Trach talking about how we modeled and observed striatal prediction errors with fMRI … in preverbal infants 👶 . (Also, cortical value signals?)

Collaboration with the Turk-Browne lab, incl Cameron T Ellis Tristan Yates, Lilian Behm, and Sheri Choi.

I’m at #SfN23 with some *brand new* infant movie-watching fMRI data! We ask: Does the developing visual system “prefer” more realistic stimuli, or simplified/exaggerated information? How does this impact decoding of (lion) faces? Come by SS9 tomorrow (Tuesday) from 1-5pm! 🦁👑

If you're @SfN and interested in manifolds, fMRI neurofeedback, or fun VR tasks, come to my talk 'Learning on the manifold of human brain activity through real-time neurofeedback' at 1:30pm on Sunday in WCC 201! #SfN23 Krishnaswamy Lab Guillaume Lajoie

Check out ACT Lab’s posters, Sunday Morning, and Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

Come for long term changes in visuomotor memory, stay for model-based infant fMRI and motor working memory!

“Elite” means nothing when it comes to women’s health and well-being. Cornell needs to do better.
