@chris_starmans Congratulations!!! Such wonderful news!

[Mariya Cherkasova @Mashupicchu]

A propensity to sign-track was not associated with riskier choice or a greater susceptibility to the risk-promoting effects of reward-related cues. But we found some evidence that those with a propensity to goal-track might be more sensitive to cues' risk-promoting effects.

📢Excited to share new paper with @cawinstanley, @LukeClark01, Jason Barton & Jon Stoessl! We looked at sign-tracking/ goal-tracking in humans in relation to risky decision making and rik-promoting effects of reward-related cues. https://t.co/Q5ikcfP2xO

[Mariya Cherkasova @Mashupicchu]

It's a big first for me: my first graduate student @PolinaKrom earned her Master's! Couldn't be more proud of her!

[Mariya Cherkasova @Mashupicchu]

It was great to have @cawinstanley give a virtual colloquium at the @NeuroscienceWVU seminar series! I never get tired of hearing about rats gambling and the other amazing work coming out of her lab! 🐀🎰

My graduate student Maria Potts presenting @SfNtweets for the first time. She's got some fun decision making data to show. UU24, PSTR235.16

[Mariya Cherkasova @Mashupicchu]

Some posters from the Cherkasova and Winstanley labs being presented on UU boards this morning @SfNtweets. Come check them out!

Excellent advice. And we don't need to know (and you don't have to disclose) personal background motivating your interests (eg, in mental health topics).

Plus, surprisingly, "I did my first experiment when I was three..." doesn't make you stand out! Apparently, everyone did ;)

Using our data, we made a figure similar to Montague and Schultz, but with the addition of force measures.
