As they say, some personal news! I just finished the last assignment of grad school, & I'm so looking forward to graduation on Friday! I'm even more thrilled to share that I'm moving to Montgomery, Alabama and joining @statesnewsroom's brand new bureau in the states. 1/🧵

@sophieboerman on the current state of eye-tracking research. Fun fact: many scientific papers mention eye-tracking research as "important to implement in future research", but still only a few studies actually USE eye-tracking technology ;) #dontbelazyscientists #icoria19
