I am extremely honoured to share that I received a Kingston 40 Under 40 award. Thank you to @InvestKingston for their recognition, and to the nominators who recommended me. I am grateful to live in such an inspiring community! ⭐investkingston.ca/youngprofessio…

@RileyJTBonar met a big milestone in the Developmental program at @QueensPsyc last week: he successfully defended his MSc proposal! His thesis will examine associations between pubertal maturation and neural response to friends & caregivers in teens. Way to go, Riley! 🚀 #proudPI

@DSECLab MSc student @RileyJTBonar shared his work on teen attentional biases today at #SANS2024! Teens look longer at friends’ vs. parents’ faces in a dot-probe task—no matter the emotion they are expressing. We’re still chasing this down but these are intriguing early findings!






Incredibly proud of Sarah Robichaud and @RileyJTBonar for their Honours thesis presentations today! They have blown me away this year with their hard work, team spirit, and thoughtful curiosity. Major congrats on this milestone! 🎉 #proudmentor @DSECLab @QueensPsyc











Have you wondered whether children & adults express emotions in the same way? There is evidence to suggest that they may not! Teenagers and adults differed in their use of pitch (a key acoustic cue to emotional intent) across emotions. #research (🖋 Daniel Nault & Olivia Merulla)

A busy day at #queensu with 4,600 students moving into the university’s 17 residence buildings. A big thank you to all the volunteers and staff, partners from the city and Kingston community, and to the incoming students and their families, for making the day work. Cha Gheill!
