We have an all-girl graduate student cohort IN #cogsci this year. I interrupted their chat about plant neurobiology. My kind of gals. I have great hopes and pride and a covert intention of converting them to molds and fungi.

Excited to hear @olivia.science’s research on what #AI is and why it is harmful at today’s @adaptcentre.bsky.social webinar. (Happening now!) #PhilAI #CogSci

Joint work with Alexander Fengler and Michael Frank, and our CNTRaCS colleagues Megan Boudewyn, Cameron Carter, Molly Erickson, Jim Gold, Steve Luck, Dan Ragland, Andy Yonelinas, Angus MacDonald and Deanna Barch.
