Privileged to have been a part of @sciencepolicy CSPC Science Meets Parliament 2025 to bridge the gap between researchers across Canada and the Canadian federal government! #CSPC2025 #SMP2025
It was great to have such champions for the program
@ChiefSciCan @kbardeesy @ElizabethMay and to chat about social interactions, AI regulation, and the cool work we’re doing at @queensu @queensuResearch @ConnectedMinds3 @QueensU_CNS
Always amazed that I get to work with such a passionate and fantastic team at the
@sciencepolicy SMP Organizing Committee! See you all next year for #SMPBC and #SMPOntario!
Had a fantastic time at the inaugural @sciencepolicy Science Meets Parliament Ontario last week, where we brought together amazing researchers across the province to meet w/ MPPs at Queen's Park #SciParlON2025
We had such great support from the Lieutenant Governor @LGOntario, the Speaker @SkellyHamilton, and MPPs across the aisle, all of whom were excited to celebrate the vital role that science and education plays in helping our province grow #CdnSci #CdnInnovation
Can't say enough about the amazing team I get to work with on the @sciencepolicy SMP Organizing Committee, who make the work worth it. Here's to many more selfies!
Super stoked that we finally have our socials up and running & a big thank you to our lab coordinator Madhu for her fantastic work in putting our website together! Check us out at quadlab.ca!
Introducing the QuAD lab! The @queensuniversity Attentional Dynamics Lab at @QueensPsyc investigates how, when, and why attention shifts over time. We’re so excited to introduce you to the team and talk about some of the cool work that we’ll be launching soon!
Exciting news! I'll be recruiting grad students for Fall 2025 who'd like to work in Cognitive-Neuro or Social-Personality at @QueensPsyc & @QueensU_CNS! If you love all things attention & are excited about stats, coding, & cupcakes, we may be a great fit!

Had a phenomenal time w/ @sciencepolicy Science Meets Parliament last week, where brilliant researchers across Canada met with MPs & Senators on the Hill, bringing together the people generating knowledge in Canada with those who use it for the public good #SciParl2024
It was great to see such strong support for science & research from @ChiefSciCan Dr. Mona Nemer, @HoCSpeaker @GregFergus, and all of the other MPs & Senators who participated in the program
Had a whirlwind of a week in Ottawa last Monday / Tuesday, representing @QueensPsyc & @UwaterlooPsych and meeting with MPs as part of the @sciencepolicy Science Meets Parliament program #SciParl2023
A hearty thanks to everyone involved in organizing this phenomenal event and helping us build lasting connections with other diverse researchers and with parliamentarians and their staff. Excited to put my new #policy and #scicomm skills to work! #SciParl2023
Addendum: Thanks as well for a mini-reunion with @QueensPsyc alum @megankmahoney! It was amazing catching up with the cool work she's been up to! 🥳
Excited for our @sciencepolicy day on the Hill, meeting with MPs and sharing the amazingly cool work we at @QueensPsyc @UwaterlooPsych @McGillPsych do in science #SciParl2023
Now that the ink is officially dry, beyond thrilled to announce that I'll be returning to my alma mater @queensu as an Assistant Professor at @QueensPsyc in Jan 2024!
Very much looking forward to reuniting with old friends, getting to know new colleagues, and building a diverse group to study attention in all of its functional, temporal, & computational glory
Grateful to my mentors who helped me get here – @DrCastelhano, Jelena Ristic, @debra_titone, @sylvain_baillet, Dan Smilek – and to the amazingly talented undergrads and grads that I've worked with over the years – I owe you all some delicious Kingston churros in the future!
