I am a social psychologist using experimental, computational and qualitative methods as needed. My research has explored how verbal uncertainty is interpreted, attitudes towards behaviour change interventions, autonomy in health communication, and gender bias in representations of scientists. As an ADHDer, I also examine neurodivergence in academia, neurodivergent people's workplace experiences and biases towards neurodivergent patients. Further, as an active member of the Open Science community, I contribute to replicability and reproducibility efforts and to meta-research projects examining the impact of psychological science methods on our field. Finally, as a passionate educator teaching research methods, statistics, R programming, and the principles of Open Science, I also contribute to pedagogical research on open science education and inclusive higher education.
