Feels as though you've lived 5 years in the past year. Best of luck, thanks for sharing both ups and down - looking forward to follow along.

hi, I just watched your video from two years ago on aphantasia. I wanted to comment there, since you asked your audience to share their experiences, but I thought since it was an older post, you might not see it. Is there a current site where you are collecting people's aphantasia experiences? I am a retired college teacher of history, natural science, and humanities, and am now mostly making art, but discovered about a year ago that I seem to have some form of aphantasia. I'd love to share something of my experience with you. I also appreciate and empathize with your PhD journey.

Do the school fund your trips to this conferences?

[@pourthiswithme]

Yes. I have a set budget every year that I choose what to use on. It's mostly for travel, but it can be used on other things. But if I run out, I have to pay myself or apply for external funding

Your studies on how some people remember in images and some do not has really captured my imagination. Thank you for sharing! Have you watched the work of Tim Urban about procrastination? Tim Urban: Inside the mind of a master procrastinator | TED kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6PNaKKJqax_obc
