@maze_standrews' new issue, and the interview just brought back so many amazing memories. This is me on my first week in St Andrews! Small caterpillar dreaming big! Still am, but I hope soon the butterfly will emerge. About time 😉

I started Maze magazine around 2013ish when I was at St Andrews doing my undergraduate degree in psychology. The magazine has been going on and off since. Interview with me just came out in the latest issue mazemag.wixsite.com/maze?fbclid=...

I am so happy to see my mentor, collaborator and one of most inspirational women I worked with, Prof Nagai recognised as top women in tech 🙌 She has been incredibly kind, welcoming me to her lab on several occasions and working on AI and autism, even before AI became cool. ircn.jp/en/news/2024...

So today, I did a thing.. I submitted my short story to Writers & Authors' short story competition and the London Magazine literary journal. If you would like to read the story, let me know. Image generated by AI to capture the main character and the tone of the story.

Would love to be added to the list 😊

Second, digital literacy is an issue that we also have to address explicitly. I've pulled together a resource here to try and help with some of this emilynordmann.github.io/digital_lite...#AcademicSky

We had our first lecture of the VR for Psychology Research today. I am a course lead for the second time with David as a co-lead. Always a fun lecture where we have students look at 3D images with anaglyph glasses, show them old stereoscope, and just generally have a lovely time.

What organising dissertation students into groups looks like 🫣 happy to start working with new cohort, this time online distance learning and level 4 undergraduate students, exciting times ahead!

I will start sharing Lithuanian cultural and linguistic snippets. We are such a small country, and I hope that with these, I can give insight into how complex and wonderful our history, folklore, and language are.

Blended XR Curriculum Approach: MIX (Multimodal Immersive eXperience) is my brain child and my first attempt to put all of my experience of immersive lesson design onto paper. Preprint here doi.org/10.31234/osf.... I'm happy to see neuroscientists already keen to test it in their own lesson plans.
