Wir freuen uns auf den Projektbeginn! Für alle mit Begeisterung für geschlechtersensible Forschung: in den nächsten Wochen kommen die Stellenausschreibungen 1x PräDoc, 1x SHK. Stay tuned!

🚨 New data from 25,000+ STEM workers: LGBTQ scientists are 30% more likely to face harassment, 31% social exclusion, 32% more likely to leave. Trans/nonbinary respondents fare even worse. This is systemic. This deserves action. @science.org #AcademicSky www.science.org/content/arti...

5 Jahre #IchBinHanna. Alle sind sich inzwischen einig, dass sich grundlegend was ändern muss. Zig konstruktive Vorschläge. Und dann das: Der neue Referentenentwurf fürs #WissZeitVG ist 1 Witz. Und zwar 1 ganz schlechter. Meine Einordnung ⬇️ #IchBinHanna @drkeichhorn.bsky.social @kubon.bsky.social

Wer unter 6 J. für die Promotion gebraucht hat, konnte bislang ungenutzte Befristungszeit als Postdoc aufbrauchen. Laut Referentenentwurf soll das nicht mehr möglich sein. Der Anreiz also: Möglichst lange brauchen & 6 Jahre ausreizen. Fehlanreiz für Promovierende, Schaden für Postdocs. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #WissZeitVG

Die passende Petition dagegen: 👇 "Wir fordern von der BVG: Steht zu eurer Aussage und positioniert euch klar gegen rechte Angstmache in Berliner U-Bahnen – auch auf euren Werbeflächen!"

Die geplante Budgetierung gefährdet bis zum ein Drittel der Behandlungsplätze in Kassenpraxen, weil Therapeut:innen mit halbem Versorgungsauftrag in die Teilzeit gezwungen werden. Darüber wird bisher viel zu wenig berichtet.

Diversität & Internationalisierung in der Wissenschaft werden dieser Tage öfter als nebensächlich oder gar verzichtbar markiert — wesentliche Verdienste & Entwicklungen in diesen Bereichen stehen längst auf dem Spiel. Insofern wichtiges Statement von Rosenthal im Namen der @hrkaktuell.bsky.social:

Presenting on Women’s Health at the Health Innovation summit of the Danish Embassy - with 🥁one✨ male participant in our workshop.

Unserem „Fragen Sie mal Ihre Töchter“-Kanzler war der heutige »Internationale Tag zur Beseitigung von Gewalt gegen Frauen« übrigens keinen Post in sozialen Medien wert. … Stattdessen gibt es einen Ausschnitt seiner Rede bei der »Bundesvereinigung der Deutschen Arbeitgeberverbände e.V.«. 💁🏼‍♀️

It was great to be a part of this little booklet - if you work in medicine, this one is for you!👩‍⚕️ We explain what placebo and nocebo effects are and how you can use them in your communication and work with patients! 🗣️ Shout-out to co-authors Lorenz Peters, @ulrikebingel.bsky.social & Sven Benson!

++++ Ausschreibung für eine Professur für Klinische Psychologie und Psychotherapie mit Schwerpunkt Psychodynamische Psychotherapieforschung an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. +++ Das ist eine sehr spannende Stelle mit viel Potenzial. Bewerbungsschluss ist der 08.10.2025. Gerne teilen!

🚨Our new systematic review identifies diversity data gaps in PTSD research. 🔹 Middle-aged, well-educated, and non-marginalized groups were overrepresented. - Although marginalized groups and those with lower SES are at increased risk for PTSD. tinyurl.com/4vrey5mv

We were happy to contribute to a project exploring how childhood maltreatment affects postpartum depression, using both subjective and objective measures of chronic stress, together with @meikeb.bsky.social @sinhaengel.bsky.social @shaering.bsky.social & collaborators! 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

#Gleichstellung #Familienpolitik #Hausarbeit #FReDA #Sozialforschung #GenderCareGap 🔍 Hausarbeit als Konfliktthema in Partnerschaften Der aktuelle FReDA Policy Brief zeigt, dass Frauen in 53 % der heterosexuellen Partnerschaften den Großteil der Routine-Hausarbeit übernehmen.

Among heterosexual couples over age 50, research finds that divorce rates increase significantly when the wife develops a serious illness but the husband does not; however, no such increase is seen when husbands fall ill but wives do not. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/soci...

Out now: our paper on how to deidentify data sets in the social sciences while navigating privacy concerns. The paper includes a step-by-step de-identification guide and two worked examples, with tons of accompanying material on OSF. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

World leaders in traumatic stress have written this editorial to express concerns about the global impact of what is happening in U.S., how decisions are impacting exposure to and consequences of trauma www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @ejpt.bsky.social @istss.bsky.social @estss.bsky.social

Beyond excited to share that I successfully completed my PhD on the the gender data gap in psychotraumatology last week! Thank you to my wonderful supervisor @sinhaengel.bsky.social and to everyone who walked this path with me – your support made all the difference.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

The importance of diversity in science is an unshakeable reality that the scientific community must stand by, says Arthur Caplan https://go.nature.com/3XS8xc4

At USAID (before it was shuttered), images of global missions were removed from office walls. Shared by Vaughn Hillyard of NBC News on X. 3/x

I removed the ID of the posters but at what point do we have a moral imperative here? I would not want to participate in a process that explicitly discriminated against minorities. If the applications aren’t reviewed they are basically rejected no? Pull out of the reviews.

Ein paar Vorschläge, wie man tätig werden kann: - Websites eigener Fachgesellschaften & Konferenzen checken. Stellungnahmen fordern. Laut werden, wenn Diversitätsinitiativen gelöscht werden www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/t... - Bei der Datensicherung helfen: journalistsresource.org/home/researc...

Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals? This is not how it works, Mr President. Our response @bmj.com on the Trump Executive Order and his "forbidden words" www.bmj.com/content/388/...

The entire archive of CDC datasets can be found here. HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻 archive.org/details/2025...

Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

#savebraincity Es wäre lustig, wenn es nicht so traurig wäre - das Wasserschaden-Bingo der Berliner Universitäten!

#Berlin massive budget cuts in higher education threaten to destroy the entire academic life in this city. Great turnout at protest in front of the senat building! @ifpuk-berlin.bsky.social of course also here today!

#savebraincity Die Kürzungen betreffen uns alle - innerhalb und außerhalb der Universitäten #Ausbildung #Fachkräfte #Demokratie stehen auf dem Spiel!

Bluesky wird gerade von einer Horde deutschsprachiger Bots geentert, die möglicherweise versuchen, sich für die Bundestagswahl in Position zu bringen. 👇

How do we implement intersectional and feminist approaches in research practice? If you want to explore this with us and discuss successes, failures, and ideas at SS32 of @regstud.bsky.social #RSA25 in Porto next May, submit your abstract here by 19 Dec: bit.ly/RSAAC25 More info here: bit.ly/sspto25

New study of Crisis Pregnancy Centers finds they spread misinformation about abortion care & need greater scrutiny, per JAMA: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Attention, trauma researchers: Happy to welcome the Global Collaboration on Traumatic Stress Research on bluesky! Worldwide trauma is the norm rather than the exception! bsky.app/profile/gtra...

Brief recap: While there were more men (or rather: male-read persons) than usual, they still made up less than half of the audience. Regardless of gender, however, it was amazing to see the great interest in this topic - with nearly every seat being taken!

"Non-White scientists appear on fewer editorial boards, spend more time under review, and receive fewer citations" www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Excited to speak at DGPPN at noon today! While it is usually a mostly female audience in sessions on sex/gender aspects in mental health, I am curious to see if that is different in today’s symposium on men’s health. I am also quite curious to hear the other talks!

If you ask people to complete somewhat lengthy or complicated measures of gender/sex identity, does it hurt completion rates and increase missing data? Apparently not too badly! "sexual fluidity items should be included..." psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-...

Ein leider wenig beachtetes Thema.

Participants needed! I am currently looking for anyone who menstruates to take part in a study of the relationship between #sensory processing, #menstruation and mental health. We need both neurotypical and #autistic folks to take part! More info: durhamuniversity.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

With the increase in new accounts (welcome, everyone!) I’m re-sharing this for anyone interested in following, joining or nominating.

How do patients’ expectations impact treatment outcomes in medical and psychological interventions? Follow sfb/trr 289 to find out more! ⬇️

There's a new special issue called "Oxytocin: Not just a "female" hormone", including 15 papers from women in the field. The science is great but you also get a very honest view about how academia works, something that you almost never get from articles www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

On my way home from the last weekend of a female talent promotion program, I was honored to participate in - with lots of love letters from my peers travelling along with me. 💕 It is amazing how empowering it feels to build a network of smart, inspiring and supportive women!

Created a starter pack for folks looking at all things sex and gender in mental health. From sex and gender differences to reproductive mental health and SGM mental health. Let me know who‘s missing! go.bsky.app/Me548no

Quite a white list, tbh. Is there anyone else out there, German-speaking with migration background, who wants to join the discussion about working conditions in academia? Let's revive #ichBinReyhan
