Memory Messabout Meeting – Loyola University Chicago – April 1, 10 – 3:30p
The meeting is a data-blitz style event for trainees (students / techs / post docs) in the Chicagoland area studying learning and memory. Our goal is to bring together young minds who study memory at various levels (human, non-human, computational, etc.) to exchange knowledge and inspire each other . In particular, we want to foster cross talk between the diverse memory labs in the area. We also want to give trainees the opportunity to network, and practice presenting their work in a professional format that is welcoming and stress-free. We have partnered with several associations this year to host a Diversity in STEM Luncheon with special guests Women in Learning, Science Sistas, Proteintech, and Laurier Women in Neuroscience. Registration is free but required as there are limited spots. Thanks to our generous sponsors (NSF, LUC, Proteintech, ThermoFisher, Bruker-Inscopix, and the MNEME lab) there will be awards, prizes, swag, and a great line up of speakers!   See the flier here.

Welcome to Spring Semester!
I hope you have had a meaningful MLK Jr day.  If you haven’t watched it recently watch/listen to this.  Unfortunately, this version of “I have a Dream” cuts out Mahalia Jackson saying “tell them about the dream Martin.”  In front of hundreds of thousands of people, King paused, put aside his prepared speech and began improvising and at 1:55 in this video gave us what we will always remember, one of the great moments of human creativity delivered directly from his heart…”I have a dream” Listen to the full story of the speech here.

PSYCHOLOGY STUDY RECRUITMENT
 
Loyola ACCTION Lab Study
The ACCTION Lab at Loyola University Chicago is conducting a study to evaluate how attention may impact academic, psychological, and social outcomes in college students. Participation involves taking a one-time, 30-minute survey about academic and social experiences, inattention, trauma, sleep, and motivation. If you are interested in participating in and completing this survey, please access the appropriate survey below. To complete the survey, you must be connected to Loyola Wi-Fi. If you are in psych 101 and complete the survey, you will have the opportunity to receive 1 Sona credit. Risks are minimal aside from potential discomfort from answering questions about past experiences. Learn more here or sign up here. If you have any questions, please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Zoe Smith (Dr. Z; zsmith5@luc.edu).
 
Rush Biological Rhythms Research Laboratory – Sleep Study
Our research team at the Biological Rhythms Research Laboratory of Rush University Medical Center studies sleep patterns and the 24-hour (“circadian”) clock. Currently, we are conducting an NIH-funded study about the timing of bright light to reset the body clock of young adults to make it easier to sleep at an earlier clock time. The results of this study could be used to develop strategies for young adults who need to reset their body clock for things that require waking up early like classes and work. For more information on the study please visit here.
 
The Bilingualism and Psycholinguistics Research Group at Northwestern University (Evanston campus) is recruiting participants for an EEG study on language and cognition. We are interested in finding out how languages are represented in the mind. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a safe and non-invasive neuroimaging technique. We are recording the neural activity at the surface of the scalp as it naturally occurs in the brain. The testing session takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. For your time and effort, you will be compensated $15 per hour plus the cost of transportation. You may qualify if you are: Between the ages 18 to 35, right-handed and a Native English speaker who has no or minimum knowledge of another language. If this study is of interest to you, please contact researcher Dr. Ashley Chung-Fat-Yim at ashley.chungfatyim@northwestern.edu or 847-467-2709
