I started my journey into Psychology as an Undergraduate at Lancaster in 2001, and still remember Dr Trevor Crawford’s lectures as my first introduction to neuropsychology. He presented what I feared would be very difficult topics in such an accessible and engaging way that I went on to complete my MSc dissertation under Trevor’s supervision, and then my PhD. I have Trevor to thank, not only for developing my subject knowledge around biological, cognitive, and atypical psychology from his research papers and his teaching, but also for developing my research and teaching skills, and for developing my passion for academic psychology and confidence to pursue this. Throughout my MSc and PhD, Trevor mentored me as I learned how to programme eye trackers, how to navigate ethical issues, and how to frame and present research studies in conference presentations and journal articles. Trevor encouraged me to present at numerous national and international conferences, and it was with Trevor’s support that I was able to secure my first grant: a Grindley Grant to cover conference attendance from the Experimental Psychology Society. Trevor was always incredibly supportive during research meetings, and made me feel that I was able to contribute to discussions, which built up my confidence as I struggled with imposter syndrome as a first generation university attendee. I now have a number of poster presentations, talks, and a paper with Trevor under my belt, and I was so inspired by Trevor that I went on to become a Lecturer in Psychology at Keele University, and a Higher Education Academy Teaching Fellow, specialising in teaching eye tracking methods, ethics, and cognitive neuropsychology! I’m striving to pass on Trevor’s remarkable research contribution to cognitive neuropsychology by teaching my students about his research, but I’m also striving to pass on the enthusiasm, patience, and kindness that he showed to me, to the next generation of psychology students. Given the impact that Trevor has had on me, which has been career and life-defining, and the legacy that he will leave as I share what I learned from him to new cohorts of students.
