It’s that time again. Time to celebrate and share our science. Time to meet with old friends and colleagues. Time to meet new ones. Time for the 2023 64th Annual Meeting. This time in San Francisco.
There’s a lot of work behind the scenes to make this meeting happen, including the Society’s Digital Team’s activities. Digital Associate Editors, Lisa Fazio and Heather Hill will write talk and symposia summaries to populate our daily emails. Speaking of symposia, there are plenty of topics to keep us intrigued, including,
- Temporal dynamics of affect and surprise shape laboratory and real-world memories
- The bright and dark side of technological development: a window on its impact on physical, psychological and social well-being across the lifespan
- Diversity in Disability: Evidence from Disability Identity and Research (PS Diversity & Inclusion Symposium)
- Attentional control as a psychometric construct: Challenges and responses
- Finding the Way: Advances in Spatial Navigation Research
Remember not to miss the keynote address, “Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do” by Jennifer Eberhardt (pictured below). In the keynote address, Professor Eberhardt “… will highlight how racial bias can permeate our criminal justice system, our neighborhoods, our schools, and our workplaces – and what we can do to address it.”
As you go from talk to talk to poster presentations to coffee stations at the venue, you may spot X-nomes (formerly Twitternomes) as they cover the event’s happenings on our X (formerly Twitter) account, @Psychonomic_Soc. Two former Twitternomes, Gia Macias, and Raunak Pillai, agreed to post again, so be sure to follow our X account during the meeting. We’d also like to hear from you. If you’re also posting online, please use #psynom23 (and #psynomnomnom for sharing images of delectable offerings from San Francisco’s restaurants) to share with everyone during the meeting.
Of course, there will be plenty to do besides attending talks and poster presentations. There are workshops, a diversity and inclusion reception, a student social, and jogonomics. Going beyond the science shared at the meeting, I hope you make some time to explore the city by riding a cable car, touring the Rock, checking out the latest restaurants, boutiques, and galleries in the Mission District, and shopping in Union Square, etc.
