New short story is out! ⤵️

Back at the MRI scanner today to test the first participant of @rebeccalutz.bsky.social's new study! 🧲🧠 This never gets any less exciting! 🤩 #PsychSciSky #NeuroSkyence @neurologieessen.bsky.social @unidue.bsky.social

Empathie hilft uns, die Welt mit den Augen anderer zu sehen. Claus Lamm, Professor für Biologische Psychologie an der #univie, erklärt im #Podcast der Rudolphina die "helle" und "dunkle" Seite der Empathie und wie das Gehirn reagiert. 🎧 Gleich rein hören! 👉 rudolphina.univie.ac.at/podcast-folg...

And @helenahartmann.com won a prize for one of the best ECR papers! 🏆 Read the winning paper here: "A systematic review and multivariate meta-analysis of the physical and mental health benefits of touch interventions" share.google/CpsNs9zqcO5G... Work from the @socialbrainlab.bsky.social ❤️

Of course, the ongoing C-TNBS symposium wouldn't be complete without @ulrikebingel.bsky.social giving an update on what we are doing in our CRC in the new funding period 🤩 Also featuring talks by Tamas Spisak, Dagmar Timmann & @helenahartmann.com 😁 @neurologieessen.bsky.social @unidue.bsky.social

Is there anybody in my bubble that likes to write stories, and would be up for trying to write something for my project @scienceandfiction.net? It's a great way to practice your science communication and try something new! 💙 DM me for more info!

Today and tomorrow I am giving my first #scicomm workshop all on my own 😱 It's all about communicating science through fictional short stories (like in @scienceandfiction.net) and on social media! 🤩

Placebo effects are anything but "just in our heads"! 😱 Did you know that they have real and measurable (!) effects on the brain and body? 🤯 Read the (German) interview with @ulrikebingel.bsky.social in @spiegel.de to find out more! 🤩 🔗 www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/p...

A new CRC-associated publication led by @helenahartmann.com gives insights into what it means to use feminist approaches in one's research 🤔💁‍♀️ Guess what - you might already be using some of them without knowing! 😱 Read the paper to find out more ⤵️

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...

#TeamEmpathy at the @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social is uploading two new preregistrations THIS WEEK! ✨ We are ready to start two studies on the role of a) chronic pain & b) treatment expectations in social cognition, led by PhD students @rebeccalutz.bsky.social & Julia Braunstein (@scanunit.bsky.social) 🤩

Have you already read this month's absolute gem of a #scifi story from @annahenschel.bsky.social? 🛸 #scicomm #wisskomm

🎉 New paper out- open access! 🎉 We explain what we mean by feminist practices, why they are important, & ideas to make academia more inclusive for everyone. With the amazing Feminist Wonderlab @helenahartmann.com @kohinoordarda.bsky.social @nscorralfrias.bsky.social, @flavioazevedo.bsky.social

The CRC financially supported this great project by photographer and bachelor student Celia Hohmann ❤️ The exhibition is dedicated to vulvodynia, a chronic condition that is rarely talked about 🤐 🗓️ 23.8. to 30.8. in Dortmund

New paper out with the Feminist Wonderlab and this is an important one ❤️

Is anybody in my bubble working in a museum or has expertise in creating museum exhibits and would have time to chat to me about something we are planning at the @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social? 😁

This project is now on Instagram! 💙 Give it a follow there: www.instagram.com/scienceandfi...

A little rant, why I do not want to use large language models - some reasons may speak to others too! And Happy Birthday, Wendell Berry! #AI #ClimateChange #Writing everythingisdata.substack.com/p/why-i-am-n...

The CRC is deeply saddened and shocked by the recent and unexpected passing of our esteemed colleague, Professor Andrea Evers. Andrea was a trailblazer in the field of placebo research and a driving force in fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

Super exited for you all to read this one! I have been trying to get @annahenschel.bsky.social on the blog for a looong time and she's finally here 💙

Another fantastic gift dropped this weekend, from the DGPs Interest Group Open and Reproducible Science (@igor-dgps.bsky.social) for my 2-year work as coordinator together with @gordonfeld.bsky.social 😭💙 Thanks so much to everyone who made this time memorable (& to everyone who signed this bag!)

Guess what - the next #ScienceandFiction short story is coming early this month, and it's a great one! 💙 Get ready for some utopian sci-fi! 🤯 In the meantime, read the last story ⤵️

"I'll sleep in on the weekend" 😴 *turns off all alarms* ⏰ *wakes up naturally at 7:55* 🙃

Today I'm double- and triple-checking that my scripts correctly extracted the onsets and durations of all events during my task for MRI analysis 🫠 Super tedious but very necessary 😫 #PostdocLife #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #NeuroSkyence

The radio channel @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy Kultur interviewed Ulrike Bingel about the placebo effect and its benefit for medicine! 👩‍⚕️ Listen to it here (in German): www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/placebo-effe... Her book "Dein Körper glaubt dir alles" is out now! share.google/jZLZ5cfp8plo...

Such a lovely present from @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social for my two year term as deputy early career researcher representative 😭✨ Huge thanks especially to the dream team @mfjsperl.bsky.social, Marie Mückstein, @annesaulin.bsky.social, @tinalonsdorf.bsky.social, Nina Alexander, and Christian Merz 💙

I have some spontaneous open slots for 2025, if anybody is up for writing a #scicomm short story? 😁 Intrigued? Send @helenahartmann.com a DM!

Have you read the newest #ScienceandFiction short story yet? ✨

It was great to be a part of this collaboration 😍 Thanks to the fantastic Rachel Heyard for leading this!

This new short story is 🤯

Neue Publikation: Nocebo-Effekte sind bei gesunden Personen stärker und anhaltender als Placebo-Effekte. Placebo- und Nocebo-Effekte veranschaulichen den tiefgreifenden Einfluss kognitiv-affektiver Prozesse auf die Symptomwahrnehmung und die Behandlungsergebnisse und können das Ansprechen.. 1/4
