Extremely proud to share that this Monday, April 14th, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation, earning the distinction cum laude. Thank you to my supervisors @intibrazil.bsky.social and Joukje Oosterman, my paranymphs, and everyone who made this day even more extraordinary and fun!

A busy week for #SAMBAlab! Our paper on the role of pain sensitivity in empathy for pain in psychopathy is out: nature.com/articles/s41... 🧠 We found that people with certain high psychopathic traits feel less pain (incl. physical) which predicts lower empathy for others' pain

🧠🚨 We looked into how psychopathic traits affect learning from rewards & punishments and the cognitive and neural basis of those decisions, particularly when the world feels volatile. Hot off the press in Translational Psychiatry: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
