The @DSECLab sends out triannual newsletters sharing information about our ongoing studies, recent findings, and fun activities for youth. Download them at our website or subscribe if you want to learn more about youth's social and emotional communication! michelemorningstar.com/our-l…

The @DSECLab partnered with Let's Talk Science (@LTSQueensU) to offer workshops on affective science & the research method to its participating classrooms! Teachers, visit our website to learn more & request our #LTS workshop for the upcoming year: buff.ly/4e95mmU #ygk 📆

@Emma_Ilyaz wrote up a fantastic blog post about her recent publication in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior. Check it out on the @DSECLab's blog here! buff.ly/3L0WTon ✍️ #sciencecommunication

@DanielNault_'s newest paper shows that the vocal cues youth use to enact responses to peer provocation influence other teens' perception of that response. This has important implications for social skills interventions! 🗣️ Read more: buff.ly/3zhDU6C @SRAdolescence

I'm incredibly proud to share that Emily Schreiner won the @CPA_SCP Certificate of Excellence for her Honours thesis in the @DSECLab! 🎇 Emily came up with a savvy way to test whether friends used more similar facial movements to express emotions than strangers did. Major kudos!

Superstar @OliviaMerulla presented her @QueensPsyc directed lab work with the @DSECLab at @ICP_CIP in Ottawa a few weeks ago... and won an award for the best poster! 🙌 She'll be spearheading the write-up of this work in the coming months. Watch out, world! ⭐ #proudPI

@RileyJTBonar met a big milestone in the Developmental program at @QueensPsyc last week: he successfully defended his MSc proposal! His thesis will examine associations between pubertal maturation and neural response to friends & caregivers in teens. Way to go, Riley! 🚀 #proudPI

Last summer @LauraStroudPhD & our collaborators (@VergaraLopezPhD, @BublitzHanson, S. Lee, J. Sanes, R. Dahl, @silk_jennifer, @brainboy65, D. Dickstein) published a paper @biolpsychology on teens' depression risk & neural response to peers. Blog post here! buff.ly/3VexbBs

We revamped the @DSECLab's Resources page to include informational posts, videos, & workshop materials for families, educators, & community members! 🙌 Check it out: buff.ly/44VWEEl (All credit to my superstar lab coordinator @SarahRobichaud9 for this brainchild of hers!)

@DanielNault_ has been testing the long-held assumption that the facial action units and vocal cues people use to express emotions are different in unimodal (face or voice only) vs. multimodal (face + voice) conditions. Come by his poster (IV-64) to find out! 🙂🗣️📈 #emotion

@DanielNault_ & I are representing the @DSECLab in beautiful #SanFrancisco for #APS24SF! 🌁 I'll be presenting a flash talk today (May 23, 4PM, Golden Gate 8!) on the coupling between changes in pubertal status and neural response to emotional faces in early adolescence. 🧠

The @DSECLab is en route to #SAS2024! We're presenting our latest work @affectScience. How does working memory relate to emotion recognition? Do teens & adults differ in their attention to emotional faces, or their nonverbal expression of emotion? Stop by our posters to find out!

As the fall semester starts, a look back & big THANK YOU to the stellar @DSECLab summer '23 team! (L-R: Mia Schubert, Jake Hartwig-MacDonald, Emily Schreiner, @NaultPeyton, @DanielNault_, Olivia Merulla, @RileyJTBonar, Paige Stockley, Sophie Ye, @sierramcnulty, @SarahRobichaud9)

Milestone alert: @NaultPeyton presented her Master’s proposal today! 🥳 I’m excited to see the next chapter of this work. Watch out world! #proudPI @DSECLab @QueensPsyc @QueensChildDev – at Kingston, Ontario

The @DSECLab takes Washington! I am presenting about our newest task—the auditory dot-probe—at poster II-23 from 10:30-11:30 today (Fri). @NaultPeyton presents her work on hostile attribution biases and perceptions of peer voices on Sat 12:30-1:30 (poster VII-45)! Come say hi! – at Washington, DC

Summer has officially started in the @DSECLab! I'm thrilled that Emily Schreiner (supported by SWEP @queensucareers), @SarahRobichaud9 (USSRF recipient @QueensuVPR), and @RileyJTBonar (funded by ASURF @QueensASUS) are continuing in the lab as summer fellows. What a rockstar team!

#ProudProf moment: @SarahRobichaud9 & @RileyJTBonar did an excellent job of presenting their undergraduate Honours thesis work at the #AOPUTC2023 conference last week! Thanks to @UwindsorPsych for organizing such a great conference showcasing student research! 👏
