The longer I work in higher education, the more I’m struck by how much good teaching depends on judgment, alongside evidence.

This resonates. Teaching quality is shaped by systems, structures, and leadership, not just individual effort.

UoGH Psych Society organized an external speaker event this past week featuring Dr. Nancy Marchese from Breakthrough Autism for a Q&A session on Applied Behavior Analysis.
A strong example of students identifying questions they care about and creating opportunities to engage with practitioners beyond the classroom.

From our first class: I asked students to describe the relationship between mind and body in three words. This word cloud offers a useful snapshot of the kinds of concepts and relationships they’re bringing into the course.

The first set of student presentations took place this past week in my honours seminar on mind & body. The presentations and student-led class discussions were exceptionally thoughtful, with students bringing in ideas and materials from other courses - exactly the kind of integrative thinking we hope to cultivate across the program. #HigherEducation

Books never fail to astonish me. The same story passes through countless minds, yet never twice the same. Faces shift, places breathe differently, the air itself changes with each reader. We turn the same pages, but each of us writes a world of our own between the lines.

"Memory beliefs are deeply personal... COIL gave me access to different perspectives that challenged my assumptions and expanded my understanding of how memory operates within cultural contexts." (3/3)

“Studying memory means studying what it means to be human... I carry with me the lessons of this project: cultural humility, interdisciplinary dialogue, and the profound responsibility researchers have when studying something as deeply personal as memory." (2/3)

I'm immensely proud of my students who have been working on a collaborative online international learning (COIL) project with partners in Nottingham & Texas, exploring public perceptions of memory this past term.

Fascinating paper just published in Science.
The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more.
Their central finding challenges a common belief.
Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time.
By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top.
An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence.
Link to the paper in the first reply.

Huge congratulations to my student on getting into their top law school choices (with scholarship opportunities!). It is so rewarding to see the hard work of my students shining through 😊. This will never get old. #HigherEd #Mentorship #StudentSuccess
