Academia relies on good faith. It cannot be done otherwise. This is precisely why plagiarists, people who fake data, people who deliberately ignore counter-evidence, and fascists need to be driven out. Full cordon sanitaire against this crap.

🚀 The LMU Open Science Center’s (OSC) new website is live! We now have a refreshed online home, with all of our training programs, resources, initiatives, members, and partners’ profiles in one place. 🔗 Explore it here: bit.ly/4tb4RyM What you’ll find on the website: ⬇️

What does accelerated biological aging actually mean for children? Can we measure it with algorithms only trained in adults? And do different biomarkers of aging measure the same thing? Find out at my #SOBP2026 talk tomorrow afternoon 🧬🧠

Ahhh, I’m super excited to see this one out in the press!

We ♥ Free Software! On Love Free Software Day, huge thanks to the maintainers of tools we rely on and teach about daily: OpenAlex, R, Quarto, Git, renv, Zotero, RDMO, formR.. Free software is collective infrastructure for open, reproducible research. Thank you! #OpenScience #FOSS #Reproducibility

1/13 Can epigenetic clocks and scores trained in adult blood be applied to blood and saliva in children? We systematically explore this in our new pre-print in a cohort with 291 matched pediatric blood and saliva samples @binderlabmpip.bsky.social 🩸💧🧬🧒🧵 doi.org/10.64898/202...

Heard about epigenetic aging at #ECNP2025 ? Curious to find out whether epigenetic clocks and scores also work in children? Want to know about consistent effects of childhood trauma across blood and saliva? Check out poster PS02-1267 today!

We wrapped up our fourth day of the Open Science Summer School 2025 ✅ Although the public lectures are over, registered participants still have one more day to benefit from the workshops and interactive sessions! You can find slides and recording of the public lectures here: osf.io/x639j/files/...

💻 Make your research more reproducible by making your code more readable. Get recommendations and key strategies for clean code! Attend the “Readable code” lecture by @vera-karlbauer.bsky.social and Jonas Hagenberg on Thurs 18 Sept, 9:00-9:45. 👉 Register here: www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS...

Super stoked to be a part of this!

How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect epigenetic aging? Find out at poster S23! #SOBP2025

Do adult blood-trained epigenetic measures generalize to child saliva? What does this mean for psychiatric epigenetics? Come find out and talk to me at poster S193 - now with new cross-tissue epigenome-wide results! #SOBP2025

#SOBP2025 Stop by poster 206 if you're interested in epigenetic markers for psychotherapy response - or just want to chat.

In every civilization, people end up sorted into levels of socio-economic status (SES). We explore the history, present, and future of scientific research on the complicated relationship between SES and DNA in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social💰🧬🎓 Link: rdcu.be/efacK Thread below 👇🏽

Also stop by poster 50 and talk to Alicia Schowe about genetic and environmental contributions to salivary DNA methylation! #Epigenomics25

Curious about meQTLs, inflammation, and childhood adversity? Check out Darina Czamara‘s super cool results at poster 8! #Epigenomics25
