Hi SCiPpers!
As per usual, we are extending the deadline for conference presentations. We should be able to take presentation submissions for another week in order to meet the deadlines for giving our information to the Psychonomic Society. Please note the conference is now fully virtual in line with Psychonomic Society’s recent decision. We will automatically convert any “in person” submissions to virtual. If you would like to update anything else with your submission, you can resubmit or contact compinpsych@gmail.com.
Important Due Dates:

PS - Please note that I (Erin) had to evacuate due to Hurricane Ida. I am doing my best to respond to emails, but if it’s been several days, please feel free to message compinpsych@gmail.com a reminder.
Hi SCiPpers!
Three important tasks for you:
Conference Update: The Psychonomic Society is still planning for a hybrid conference, but is monitoring the situation in Louisiana (which is currently not optimal). The city of New Orleans has recently put in a mandate that patrons must show vaccination proof or a negative COVID test to enter buildings. We will monitor the situation to be flexible with those who want to change to virtual presentations if that need arises.
