We are presenting #NODES at this year's #ISPNE conference! Visit our poster and reach out if you have questions regarding the results of the first Delphi round, project plans, etc. (either here, or in person by looking for @richrobe.bsky.social who is attending the conference in New Orleans) ⬇️

It was a pleasure presenting #NODES in the preconference workshop today! There will also be a poster presented at #ISPNE. As I cannot attend in person, @richrobe.bsky.social will happily provide answers to any arising questions 🔥 Happy conferencing, see you online (here) or in the app! 👋

ISPNE 2025 Day 1 starts now! There is still time to join us virtually or in-person! Register now to gain access to our key note speakers and symposia, interact with posters and network with like-minded professionals. The program begins at 10:30am CST. 🔗 www.ispne.net/2025reg

It’s the last days before my much needed holiday and who thought they would compete a couple of big to dos this week? Aah right - it was me. Time for a run 🏃‍♀️

Looking forward to presenting #NODES in the pre-conference workshop of #ISPNE today! 🔥 I will introduce the task force and share results of the first Delphi survey, which are also available from our website. The second survey is still open for participation: survey.questionstar.com/NODES-Delphi...

Tagging @improvingpsych.org as they might know how to move foreward?

Yesterday, I updated preprint on #PsyArxiv and today it got rejected as "The content appears to fall outside the scope of our preprint repository, which is primarily intended for contributions to scientific psychology." Should I move platforms now? The first version was approved and has a doi... 🧪

The reviews are in and they are good 👏 #CelebratoryChai

The Young Scientist Retreat is the perfect event to get to know fellow PhD students and postdocs working in biopsychology and related fields. I highly recommend it! 👐

What does stress do to working memory? 😰😵‍💫 Geissler et al. (2025) show that while task performance stayed stable, prefrontal activation dropped after acute stress, hinting at subtle cortisol-linked neural changes not visible in behavior. 📖 doi.org/10.1080/1025...

"Overall, scientific memes were generally considered as high in inherent interest and enjoyableness, moderate in usefulness, and low in levels of anxiety and emotional cost. Students whose scientific memes were publicly shared reported higher levels of perceived learning." 👏

In other news, I am now a ✨ COXI ✨ (cognitive scientist in Osnabrück, Germany) www.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/campus-li... I'll be looking for PhD students & postdocs later this year, so watch this space if combining cognitive modelling, EEG & tFUS to study flexible cognition sounds exciting to you 🚀

Sundays are for long hikes! ⛰️

“I'm writing to let you know that the editors have decided to send your manuscript for peer review. Invitations are being sent to potential referees now.” Sometimes, getting into peer review is already a win ✨

Happy start to the weekend everyone! ☀️

I'm compiling a list of resources for grad students in the sciences! What are some free/cheap online tools for learning a new skill or concept? The ones I've advised my students to use are ConservationTraining .org, the UNFAO Academy, and DataCamp. What else is out there? Any tips welcome! 🧪

our paper on how light pollution affects bird vocal behavior is out today in Science!! w/ @brentpease.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Today, the words seem to flow rather slow, but the count still went up by 400 words. Chai supply is luckily sustained by my wonderful @nirx-nirs.bsky.social cup with a stellar #IGORinthewild sticker 🧠 @igor-dgps.bsky.social

„Die stichprobenartige Untersuchung von Greenpeace kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass nur bei 39 Prozent der untersuchten grenzüberschreitenden Verbindungen der Zug die günstigere Option gewesen sei“ Im Arbeitskontext besonders ärgerlich, da Gelder für Konferenzen oft knapp bemessen sind…

Endres up adding 400 words the document. Even with caffeine, it was hard to concentrate during the afternoon session, so I ended up doing other tasks. The call from a college really was a welcome disturbance 📲 No appointments whatsoever tomorrow - looking forward to another writing session!

I blocked the day for writing and since the morning, my word count went up by around 300 words. I guess it’s time to add some carbonated soft drink with caffeine. 🔥

Due to a recent influx of problematic submissions, PsyArXiv has switched to pre-moderating its content. If your submitted preprint had not yet been approved, it will be temporarily inaccessible to the public (you can still view your preprint when logged into your OSF account). #PsychSciSky

Feierabend 🌅

Much needed writing break ☀️

Ich wittere einen neuen Persönlichkeitstest 🪿

Best of #GoogleScholar recommendations, today featuring me and my stellar colleagues with "This manuscript is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed." 🐝

Is there a way to incorporate #Matlab code into a #RMarkdown file? To provide a visual summary of "why", my Matlab skills are depicted in the GIF below. #RStats

Systematic reviewers have a 10.7% error rate when screening papers for potential inclusion. In other words, about 1 in 9 abstracts are categorised incorrectly (i.e., false inclusion or false exclusion). This really drives home the benefit of having at least two screeners

New paper just out (open access) 📣 How do early adversity and war trauma shape children’s decisions under uncertainty? We tested Syrian refugee kids (7–12) in Amman vs. Jordanian peers across a set of learning/foraging tasks. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence

Es ist unglaublich, wie schnell ein Semester vergeht. Habe heute mein Büro in Bamberg leer geräumt. Ich werde die zentrale Lage am Markusplatz sehr vermissen! 🥨

Der Mond über Bamberg 🌝 📷

Excited that another preprint from my time in Basel is finally out! 🧬 In a high risk sample of formerly out-of-home placed young adults, we aimed to replicate that different types of childhood maltreatment are linked to common but are also associated with distinct changes in DNA methylation.

Yeah - Tag 4 von 4 ist abgeschlossen und somit der Prüfungsmarathon (70 mündliche Prüfungen) erfolgreich absolviert! What a ride 🛼, da darf der #CelebratoryChai nicht fehlen.

How do metabolic factors and sex hormones (estradiol and progesterone) modulate the cortisol stress response? 💥 Our meta-analysis suggests that glucose increases cortisol output but the effect of basal sex hormone concentrations is less clear.

Tag 3 von 4 - Prüfungsendspurt!

I'm a Master's student at ETH Zurich researching the potential of fNIRS. If you are working with any neuroimaging devices, please consider taking this short survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Thank you in advance for your time! #NIRS #fNIRS #fNIRShyper

Tag 2 von 4 geschafft! Wetter sonnig, Stimmung weiter heiter.

Wow! 🤩

Start in die Prüfungswoche - Tag 1 von 4. Wetter regnerisch, Stimmung heiter. Mit Sticker von @igor-dgps.bsky.social geht alles besser 😉 #IGORinthewild

Um die Körpersprache von Katzen besser zu verstehen, haben Neurowissenschaftler dazu aufgerufen, Handyvideos einzuschicken. Ein Grund? Anders als Hunde seien Katzen eher nicht für kontrollierte Laborbedingungen geeignet.

I finally resubmitted one of the manuscripts that piled up on my desk 🏁 crossing my fingers for a smooth review process #AcademicChatter

Ui, das steht mir kommende Woche bevor! Ich nenne gebe Tipps an! 😶‍🌫️

Update: They are fine 😉

"An account has been created for you on the ~journalname~ ScholarOne Manuscripts site for online manuscript submission and review." ... it's been one hour and I haven't receive an invitation to review, I wonder if everything is ok on their side of the screen 👀 #AcademicChatter
