Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

I am part of the Graduate Student Council for IU's Brain and Psychological Sciences Department. We are trying to get a grasp on the field level norms and expectations for qualifying exams in order to better advocate for students. Please comment on your quals experience! Thanks!

Friends who have done phds in psychology or neuroscience, could you help me with something? What did you have to do for your qualifying exam/comps/advancement to candidacy?

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

It's a strange experience when the last week of summer is loaded with the same degree of anxiety as a typical finals week. Almost done with qualifying exams!!

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

Looking forward to giving my first official conference talk at #CogSci2022 on Friday morning! Come check out what is bound to be an amazing oral talk session on education!

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

Qualifying exams is quite the process... almost done with paper 1 and my brain hurts!! Can't wait to do it all over again for paper 2, starting after the holiday weekend 🙃

Reviving academic twitter for #CDS2022! Stop by my poster on Friday (tomorrow) evening! “The effects of person vs. computer feedback of children’s motivation in mathematics” - poster number 2-H-36 during poster session #2 from 5:45-7:00pm. See you there!

Best practices in online testing of children: make sure that the child is not holding a chicken! (Mark Sheskin at #CDS2022)

@_BrandoCarrillo I also beat my mile time that afternoon - looks like you’re going to have to go for a run now! 😂💪🏻 #WorkLifeBalance

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

@_BrandoCarrillo Wow I guess it’s the week for giving 2 talks in one day! I gave 2 back to back talks at different lab meetings on Monday! Great work!

Out in Child Dev! What counts as information in early learning? We show that children jointly consider others’ emotional expressions and prior knowledge when exploring a novel causal toy, providing further evidence for “emotion as information.” w/@hyogweon https://t.co/oNWTyDfVZv

Researchers use a computer model to explain how #children integrate different types of information during word learning. New study in @NatureHumBehav by @elManuBohn (@MPI_EVA_Leipzig), @mhtessler, @MeganMerrick6 & @mcxfrank. See: https://t.co/44BQatVEak & https://t.co/mbhA6iyQy2

My advisor @FyfeEmily does such cool, exciting, and important work! ManyClasses is one of her many innovative projects.

[ManyClasses @manyclasses]

The first ManyClasses study is released! Final registered report now in press at AMPPS and preprint posted at https://t.co/PrJaVO4YPn
What's it all about? Hey, we're glad you asked… 1/19

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

@MansiPJoshi @AndrewLikesPsyc Totally! Ryan had to put earplugs in during a walk about the neighborhood and I always scream when one lands on me!

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

@LauraXijiaZhou Happy birthday!! Miss you all!!

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

Very informative and helpful Bayesian workshop this afternoon! You all are amazing instructors - I learned a lot! #SRCD2021

[Angeline Tsui @AngelineTsui]

If you are joining us for our Bayesian workshop today at 10:10am (PST) (i.e., 1:10pm EST), here are some quick tips for going to our workshop #SRCD2021 #SRCD

@yang_wu_ Wonderful news!! Congrats!!

Some people say grad school is a marathon, not a sprint. It's neither. It's not a race at all. It's about becoming part of - and contributing to - an intellectual and professional community.

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

Thank you to my advisor @FyfeEmily for taking so much time and care to guide me through my first grant attempt. I’m looking forward to applying for many more!

[Megan Merrick @MeganMerrick6]

In honor of normalizing failure I would like to announce that I did not receive the #NSFGRFP! Receiving overwhelming positive reviews has only encouraged me to continue on with my research program focused on how differing sources of feedback affect STEM learning in children.
