About me I began my career in Psychology at Macquarie University, graduating in 1991 with a BA (Hons) and then went on to complete a PhD in Psychology (1996) at the University of New South Wales. Following postdoctoral work at the University of California, Berkeley, I returned to Australia and UNSW as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Postdoctoral Fellow and later as an ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellow. In 2007 I moved to the Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science (MACCS) as an ARC Australian Research Fellow. In 2013 I became an ARC Future Fellow in the Department of Cognitive Science at Macquarie University. I am a Chief Investigator in the $21 million ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders at Macquarie University. I am also Co-Editor of the academic journal Memory Studies. I was Chair of the Organising Committee for the 4th International Conference on Memory (ICOM-4), held in Sydney, Australia in July 2006, and was a Member of the Organising Committee for ICOM-5 held in York, UK in July 2011. To learn more about my work, see “Memories, Memory Studies, and my iPhone”. In this editorial, I argued that people and/or objects scaffold failing memories as we age or face disease. This was Memory Studies’ fastest downloaded article for 2010; 1370 downloads in just 3months: http://mss.sagepub.com/content/3/4/293.full.pdf+html To hear more, listen to Radio National’s All in the Mind program on “Remembering Together”, which featured our research team and long-married couples who participated in her research: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/new-document/4028890
