Katharine “Kate” Crooks, MSc 🧠

My diploma finally came in!

@DisabledStem I include my Twitter account at the bottom right of my poster, and my email bottom center.

Has anyone ever put a twitter handle on their poster? Asking for me…

@mmcr @koutropoulos It could depend on when registration is made available; I‘ve requested syllabi this way for Fall since registration starts in late Spring. This would be especially important for courses with a small class size, where I‘d need to decide the usefulness of a waitlist.

@koutropoulos Someone must get a lot of these requests to be so annoyed by them. I wonder if they're coming from students or administration? Because I've never met a student who goes around asking for syllabi 4 months before a class starts

@KSchaferPhD My advisor prefers Results, Methods, Discussion | Intro, Abstract. (RMDIA or RMIDA) I prefer to write Intro, Methods | Results, Discussion, Abstract. (IMRDA or IRMDA). But the intro is important for me as a relatively new scientist to understand the field.

All that means I'll be recruiting lab managers & other members soon! In the meantime, shoot me an email (stephanie.noble@yale.edu) if building computational & statistical tools for precision neuroscience research🧠 sounds exciting to you More here: sneuroble.github.io 3/3

2nd Annual Psychology Graduate Recognition Awards and Flash Talks 🙌 Thank you @fiupsych for organizing this event! @pvierpeneuro @aineurosci @NeuroFIU

@BrunaLab One of the first author responses I ever received as a reviewer was essentially “we didn’t run stats because we didn’t compare groups [but have several pages of graphs comparing groups] and validation isn’t needed because we just wanted data” - glad to see it isn’t just me!

@m_wall Is it an issue of not being able to touch type, or is it just that the person has far more practice with texting instead of typing? Especially if they’re able to use texting shorthand (which may feel more unnatural typing out).

It has always boggled my mind that kids aren't taught to touch-type in school. It's really not that difficult. Couple of weeks practice and pretty much anyone can do it.

@ErrantScience Saving this for the 11th!

Scientists are generally not a superstitious bunch, until it comes to their thesis defense #cartoon #academia #science

So proud of Dr. @laurend_bowen for succesfully defending her dissertation today! 🥳🥳 way to go!! @ElisaTruccoPhD @N_Hidmi @pvierpeneuro @NeuroFIU

Huge thanks to @J9Kwapis for visiting and giving an amazing talk in the Cognitive Neuroscience Colloquium Series today at FIU on the role of the clock gene Per1 in circadian regulation of memory!!! @NeuroFIU @FIUCASE @BehavNeuroFIU @fiupsych

@bttyeo I’ve only reviewed for journals using the ScholarOne Manuscripts page, but: it’s easier to read and print comments that way. The text box is harder to read and printing looks odd. When I get feedback, I like to have a hardcopy to cross out parts I’ve finished, like a to-do list.

To the reviewers who upload their reviews as separate documents even though there’s no equations in their reviews, may I know why?

@rdpalacio My lab does Figures-Results-Methods-Discussion-Intro; I think it‘s a good model if you‘re already familiar with the literature, but as a grad student I find that writing an Intro first gives me a solid foundation for understanding everything else.

Write your next scientific paper with the writing backwards technique. Montagnes et al. (2022): doi.org/10.1007/s42995…

idk about you guys but i’m reeeeeally thankful for dogs

they’re all dressed as mandalorians😭

Wild to have my #MyTwitterAnniversary in what feels like the final days of Twitter~

I’m sorry but I have to be asleep right now. It’s a true sleepmergency

@hannahkloo Chronic insomniac here! If possible, try to get a multiple sleep latency test done to rule out narcolepsy (there are different things to do if you get that diagnosis) For energy, I both take Rx (NDRI+SSRI), and get sunlight to my eyes in the morning to help my circadian rhythm

People have been asking - why are we worried about gusts of wind when the SLS rocket is designed to blast us to the moon? Direction of force matters. #Artemis1

Yesterday, our Antecedents and Consequences of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems Project (ACE Project) provided up-to-date information on E-Cigarette use and vaping. Thank you @MDCPS for allowing us to participate in your Annual Student Services Mini-Conference!✨

ONE week away from our last workshop on interview prep! Hope to see some of you there! @AcademicChatter @PsychinOut @BlackinPsych @DisabledInPsych
