Taylor McClure
Reaching Control: Movement Psychophysics and Neurophysiology + Selective attention in motor working memory

McClure is a Yale postgrad in @smickdougle's lab. She is interested in how the mind stores and represents movement information in working memory for short-term use, and if other cognitive processes, like attention, can modulate memory for recently-encoded movements.

Learn more about her work at #Booth3724 on Tuesday from 2-3p.

[Giovanna Guerrero-Medina, PhD @Sefini]

The new generation of Puerto Rican scientists had a spontaneous meeting at the @wutsaiyale booth to talk about STEM outreach and public engagement #sfn25 #NeuroGrad #NeuroID @CienciaPR @uprrp

[Giovanna Guerrero-Medina, PhD @Sefini]

In his #sfn25 talk @dacolon draws lessons from his winding path in science: 1) follow your curiosity, 2) there isn’t 1 blueprint for being a scientist: learn from the diversity of experiences of others, 3) to find your path, pay attention to what sparks your interest #humansofWTI

[Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University @WuTsaiYale]

Sunday #SfN25 session shout-out:

Meet-the-Expert | 1–2 p | SDCC 5B
Daniel Colón-Ramos
Powering the Brain: A Journey Into the Cell Biology of Energy Metabolism
https://t.co/v5UD4wIacQ

Add WTI's Director of the Center for Neurodevelopment and Plasticity Daniel Colón-Ramos to your SfN agenda for a tour through the cell biology of energy metabolism and the twists of scientific discovery. Find him at 1p in SDCC Rm 5B.

[yuchen @TinyKogmaw]

I’ll be at @WuTsaiYale #Booth3724 today from 1:30–3:30 pm. If you’re also at #SfN25, come say hi and chat with me about hippocampus, Wu Tsai Institute, and everything！

#KnowTogether #ScienceAtYale #HumansOfWTI

[Giovanna Guerrero-Medina, PhD @Sefini]

This is today! Should be a great exploration of science, serendipity, and purposeful sharing of the excitement of discovery. @dacolon is a masterful science communicator so come also if you want a workshop on how to do science analogies. #sfn25

[Daniel Colón Ramos @dacolon]

If you are at #Sfn2025, come by tomorrow at 1! I will talk about energy metabolism, neurons and the winding roads of discoveries and my career in science

[Giovanna Guerrero-Medina, PhD @Sefini]
