11.17 | 1-5p | PSTR226 PSTR226.05 Taylor McClure Reaching Control: Movement Psychophysics and Neurophysiology Selective attention in motor working memory McClure is a Yale postgrad in @smickdougle's lab. She is interested in how the mind stores and represents movement information in working memory for short-term use, and if other cognitive processes, like attention, can modulate memory for recently-encoded movements. Learn more about her work at #Booth3724 on Tuesday from 2-3p. #KnowTogether #ScienceAtYale #SfN25

In his #sfn25 talk @dacolon draws lessons from his winding path in science: 1) follow your curiosity, 2) there isn’t 1 blueprint for being a scientist: learn from the diversity of experiences of others, 3) to find your path, pay attention to what sparks your interest #humansofWTI
