Big news from our team - members of the LIRA Lab have just published in The Lancet Regional Health Europe. 📑 With incredible work by our own Maša, Jana, Irena, Draga and colleagues, the paper covers a 7-year analysis of mental health among refugees during transit - migration phase rarely addressed.

Polish up your Spanish – our researchers featured on a 🇪🇸 science communication portal! Dr. Petar Lukić and Prof. Iris Žeželj have been featured on Comunicacion Científica, a platform run by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - FECYT. @iriszez.bsky.social @petarlukic.bsky.social

Can we trust science a bit too much? 🤔 While science skepticism gets most of the attention, what about the opposite extreme - uncritical trust in science? Our own @petarlukic.bsky.social and @iriszez.bsky.social just published a new paper in Theory and Society, tackling just this question! 📑

We have great news! 🎉 The Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation has confirmed what we already knew (if we dare say so): all LIRA Lab researchers appointed to scientific ranks are on the preliminary list of the top 20% researchers across all scientific disciplines in Serbia!

Science affects individuals and societies, which is one of the many reason why in scientific research ethics are one of the non-negotiables. Our own @lililazarevic.bsky.social will talk about ethical aspects in research, tomorrow, 6pm CET, at Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. Join us if you can!

What better day to talk about superstition than Friday the 13th? Our own Prof. Dr. Goran Knežević will give a talk tomorrow at the Palace of Science in Belgrade on the psychology of superstition. If you’re around, join us! The talk starts at 5:00 PM local time. #Superstition #Psychology

Today we mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬 In Serbia, structural barriers in academia are still very real, so celebrating women in science also means recognizing resilience, solidarity, and everyday persistence. #WomenInScience #IDWGS #Psychology
