@cogsci_soc @cassens @rebekahwegener @SangeetKhemlani The great @Molly_S_Quinn will be leading us off today, as convenor of this Symposium. Looking forward to some great papers from co-presenters from across the globe. @scienceirel @UCDCompSci @ucddublin @insight_centre @VistaMilk (n.b., 14.20h irish time).
I love this tribute. Losing Jim is losing so many people. There is the intellectual giant who loomed so large in mind years before I ever met him.

Happy to share the latest from the lab: "Memory and Counterfactual Simulations of Past Wrongdoings Foster Moral Learning and Improvement", now published in Cognitive Science. This awesome work, spearheaded by (now!) Dr. Matt Stanley, and in collaboration with @RobertoECabeza(1/n)

Incredibly happy to share our work w/ co-first author @mousejesus,@SamCWhitehead,@BrianKardon, @meihliu & @jesseGlab, now online on @Nature! TL;DR: mice make online corrections during licking, and cortex is required for these corrections.#tweeprint (1/21) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03561-9
