Coming from #law to #psychology to #neuroscience, I’ve often asked: where do I belong? This piece is a tribute to the value of crossing disciplinary lines and look at the inherent challenges which I continue to both embrace & tackle during my PhD @dondersinst.bsky.social @decisioncenter.bsky.social

Thrilled to share an article in @natrevpsychol.nature.com! 🧠 I reflect on how a PNAS piece has helped me see that #interdisciplinarity is not merely beneficial, but vital, for tackling real-world problems @dondersinst.bsky.social @decisioncenter.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🎉✨ Janna Vrijsen appointed Professor of #Transdiagnostic #Psychopathology: ‘I look forward to teaching researchers and psychologists to look beyond mental disorders.
