My wife and I reached the "sending each other passive-aggressive messages using the titles of pop sci books that we publish" stage of marriage.

Had such a great time today speaking on a panel among amazing scholars about Human–AI and Mediated Experiences 🤖📺 Big thanks to everyone who joined the session and your thoughtful questions! ✨ #mepsy25

After a good night’s rest here in Duisburg, I’ll soon be heading to the MediaPsych Doctoral Workshop, which takes place just before #mepsy25 kicks off. I’m so excited!

Happy to present our paper “Not Feeling It! Toward new measures for parasocial interaction with social AI chatbots”with @tobiasdienlin.com @ #MePsy25! We explore emerging interactions with social AI chatbots using HCI,CMC,and parasocial theory. venue: 11.09., 10:30 am, LX1250 slides: osf.io/jtnm5

What an absolute treat to work with such wonderful people! It an absolute (academic & fondue fuelled) blast and so so insightful! 🤩🤩 Thank you 🙏

i hope this tip, which i offer to you for free, is useful.

Wishing students and colleagues an inspiring academic year. Education is the bedrock of a strong society. Stand up for science, knowledge, and education 💪🏽 #oaj25 #oay25

Anthropomorphising the new clanker! Say hello to Paul 🤝

Lol yup! Just when you think you caught all the errors… (can’t find a unedited version of the gif)

This image captures everything that we've learned from four decades of scientific research.

Clearly watched too much Hannibal (the TV series), because now I keep saying „This is my design“ whenever I finish outlining future project ideas 😂 #academicsky #hannibal

I use and test the tech I research (like Character.ai or installing Ollama), and I feel like it really helps my understanding of where participants come from in ways reading alone never could. I’m often stunned by how quickly these applications evolve and improve 🤯

Kicking off my first workshop on teaching skills today — such a cool opportunity. Looking forward to learn a bunch over the next year! 🤓

Weekend — time to prepare actual food, yay! Today’s plating: questionable. But le flavours: amore. 🍋

So far, this door stopper is one of my best purchases of 2025 ✨

can’t even properly formulate my own argument. am i just a hostage inside my own brain?? let me ouuuuut

creating some slides (and memes) for my students on Open Science practices they could implement in their theses — clearly having way too much fun with this lol #academicsky #realslimscience #openscience #osf #badges

science with no silly? :((

If my research had a soundtrack it would probably be Metrik’s Album Ex Machina 🌌

Finally bring your pet to the office day! 🪸 #academicsky #gary #spongebob

Not sure if we're seeing another media panic develop here, and what the general effects are. That saids, it seems increasingly clear that social AI chatbots can have profound psychological impacts on at least some of their users.

The impressive thing about Jesus was having 12 friends in his 30s 11, I guess

I’m about to start teaching very soon (a research seminar for bachelor students) — incredibly excited… and also a noob.🧍 Any wisdom for a first-timer? 🧠 #academicsky

Lieber Freund, was für ein Sommer! Ich denke Sie mir im Zimmer sitzen[d], mehr Omelette als Mensch. — Nietzsche #quote

Great blog post, agree 💯 @yesuncomm.bsky.social and I encountered the exact same problem when criticizing a faulty meta-analysis. Editor told us to do a better analysis and rejected to publish our critique. Make zero sense.

Wohoo — finally enjoying some time off. Happy summer folks! ☀️ #academicsky

📣 New preprint out! In "It’s her! Investigating relationship development with social AI chatbots", we explore how people form emotional bonds with chatbots. 📄 Read the full preprint: doi.org/10.31235/osf... ✍️ with @tobiasdienlin.com

#rstats Another great meeting of the ggplot2 extenders club!. @mjskay.com gave a nice talk on the foundations of {ggdist}📦 Info: ggplot2-extenders.github.io/ggplot-exten...

ok guys, big learning the hard way—next time I‘ll do a fully reproducible manuscript in quarto because manually updating all my reporting in overleaf rn is absolutely awful. #quarto #markdown #latex #rstats #academicsky

new blog post alert! 🚨 "my first conference!" #academicsky #blog #ica25

My first #ica25 has been such an inspiring and meaningful experience. I’m so grateful to have spent it with a wonderful team and amazing colleagues 🙌

I think that some folks briefly played around with chatgpt a year ago and don't realize that things have and are moving really quickly. I've heard people say 'AI can't do that' and I think, oh, it can, now.

Had a blast today presenting among great scholars about AI offloading, expertise and relationships! 🤖 Thanks to anyone attending and asking interesting questions! ✨ #ica25

Preregistration might have other goals — but its main aim is to perform tests in a way that others can evaluate their severity. 🔍
