Out in the open: the US administration’s attempt to undermine the EU Digital Services Act (and other regulations) was evident. Now it has been elevated to formal policy and goal of diplomatic efforts. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

It is with profound sadness that we share that Professor Andrea Evers passed away. Andrea was a visionary leader, a brilliant scientist, and a compassionate colleague. As we begin to process this immense loss, let us remember Andrea for her remarkable legacy and kindness she brought into our lives.

1/2 Press release @unileiden.bsky.social about our upcoming JoPACS paper led by @bsiepe.bsky.social, showing that the overlap of similar constructs assessed via wearable vs EMA data is surprisingly low (n~850, 3 months). www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...

Nice piece from my astoundingly well-read friend Mark Edmundson....

About 1 year ago, we received NWO funding for our AIM2CARE study, inspired so much by the insights and questions left by John Bowlby. We had pledged at submission to visit his resting place at Isle of Skye. He could not have picked a more beautiful spot.

Only a small % of people engage in toxic activity online, but they’re responsible for a disproportionate share of hostile or misleading content on nearly every platform Because super-users are so active, they dominate our collective impression of the internet www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...

Though AI helps, does it dull us over time? A study from MIT found that regular ChatGPT use weakens memory, focus, and brain activity. 83% couldn't quote their own text. Essays became repetitive. Researchers call it "cognitive debt"—a slow erosion of independent thinking. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

#Trots! Mooie verdediging door ons ZA PhD student Ahmed Riaz Mohamed op het gebied van het bevorderen van de gehechtheidsrelatie van een kind met een verstandelijke beperking met zij/haar ouders. @carloschuengel.bsky.social Esme van Rensburg

Ik sprak lang met @dr-appie.bsky.social, over genen, over maatschappelijke ongelijkheid en zelfs over Dzjengis Khan... voor @nrcwetenschap.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

My new Substack is about part-time work for parents. In the Netherlands, 65-75% of mothers work part-time and about 30% of fathers do. Part-time work is supported and even encouraged by the government. Why can’t we pull that off here in the U.S.? open.substack.com/pub/darbysax...

Thread: There is global alarm at people openly flirting with & pursuing fascism. There’s an idea called ‘the warning from history’. So let me introduce you to one of the greatest artists in history. This is a man with whom you should be familiar.

#Trots Succesvolle verdediging door Helen Korving van haar dissertatie gericht op ontwikkeling van de #EMB #pijn #app. @vuamsterdam.bsky.social

Het trieste van Musk en Trump en de verheerlijking van de cryptomunten is wel dat deze munten vrijwel niks toevoegen, geen reële waarde vertegenwoordigen, niets bijdragen aan een betere wereld. wisdomofthecrowd.nl/2017/12/29/w...

Practitioners lack feasible instruments for obs assessment of parent-child interaction. New exp study by the formidable Mirte Forrer found that a decision tree performed like a text scale, while video based scales did worse www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌍📚 Excited to share our new paper! Families today are diverse, encompassing many unique configurations. Yet attachment research often fails to reflect diverse configurations. We discuss this gap and propose actionable steps for greater inclusivity in research. Read more: doi.org/10.1080/1461...

Thank you @natureportfolio.bsky.social for making my review of the Anxious Generation open access for parents, policy-makers, and the public. The story told in this book runs counter science and is leading to poor policy decisions that will ultimately fail our kids. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Are there any parents of autistic adolescents, particularly with a PDA profile, in the house? (Please repost for me, bluesky)

Little has been known about whether temperament plays a role in the development of parent-child attachment relationships. The study team behind this much-discussed research includes RCGD's Brenda Volling. #PsychSky #umichresearch @carloschuengel.bsky.social theconversation.com/difficult-ch...

Our new study in JAMAPediatrics reveals Adverse Childhood Experiences (#ACEs) are sadly common in child population samples (<18 yrs age). 📊Key stats: 0 ACEs: 42% 1 ACE: 22% 2 ACEs: 13% 3 ACEs: 8% 4+ ACEs: 15% @ucalgarymed.bsky.social @aadeneault.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

If you're a native speaker of English, you might not have experienced any language barriers in your scientific career, but their negative impacts on early-career scientists nonfluent in English are big, as summarized in the figure below created by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social and colleagues. (1/10)

Diamond open access (free to read AND to publish in) experimental psychology-adjacent journals we have accredited at freejournals.org. Do you know of others? Lemme know; could suggest they check they meet our standards at freejournals.org, and join our community. #openaccess #scientificPublishing

This is a fantastic list of suggestions for improving our grant writing. 👏

Some good advice in this thread

Hey gang, I'm putting together a feed on global disability rights... You can browse the posts or if you got to "about" you can find new folk to follow. Please share so we can find more folk outside of US/UK.

PCI Psychology is a bold new effort seeking to improve peer review by separating it from journals and the publication process. Join us by signing up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Een sterke verdediging ook en super dat de uitkomst in een handzame app bruikbaar is in de praktijk, well done #TanjaDoodeman

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics

Size = average self-reported severity. Sample is 87 % female. Most central nodes were “procrastination” & “overthinking”, i.e. not criteria for depression! doi.org/10.2989/1728...

I enjoyed this conversation about parental stress for The Newsworthy podcast w/ Erica Mandy. We talked about why the Surgeon General thinks that parents' stress is a public health problem and how to build a society that takes the pressure off of parents. open.spotify.com/episode/6UYL...

While many mask mandates have been lifted, this work highlights how face masks can broadly impact our ability to recognize emotions—particularly sadness, which is vital for understanding others' distress and offering support. Link to the paper: bit.ly/48RvXT5😷

Oh my goodness, yes. Editors' very favorite people are those who agree to review, but our second favorite are those who suggest other qualified reviewers. Our least favorite people are the ones who agree to review then ghost us entirely, but that's for another day.

Can we get an upgrade to the browser interface? Maybe an iPad app? Asking for an old dude who can't type on his phone.

Excited to share our new @plos.bsky.social paper! We wanted to understand how childhood socioeconomic status affects decision-making later in life. We studied ~13,000 adults across 61 countries 🌍 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... (1/3)

For reporting standards, the EQUATOR portal is a good finding place. Is there something similar for Risk of Bias or Study Quality assessments for different study types?
