It’s that time of the year again: LBP retreat! Rudi D’Hooge and @markuswohr.bsky.social labs gathered together for 2 full days of science. A special thank you to Dr. Elodie Ey for bringing her expertise on animal research to this event!

Thank you once again @elinevg.bsky.social and big congrats on this prestigious award! 🎉

It was an honor to be interviewed about my doctoral research by @bdalile.bsky.social for #KarakterCast! This interview happened on the occasion of me receiving the ASL research award for Human Sciences for my PhD work. Check it out on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/07Zu...

As part of academischestichtingleuven.be, I started a #scicomm podcast 2 months ago: #KarakterCast! 🎙️ #KarakterCast is quickly becoming a platform for young researchers at KU Leuven to share their latest research findings. As the host, I'm incredibly thrilled to see it grow!

🎉 Congratulations to the recipients of the EBBS Young Investigator Award at the 4th European Stress Conference in Innsbruck! We’re proud to celebrate and support the next generation of excellence in neuroscience

Super eventful last weekend in #Berlin: attended @dgnm.bsky.social, met new faces, caught up with colleagues, and got the chance to present first results from my collaboration with @neckellab.bsky.social 🧠🔬 Stay tuned for some cool findings!

Neckel Lab@neckellab.bsky.social · last yr.

This was fantastic! 🤯 Annual meeting of the German #Neurogastro society @dgnm.bsky.social 2025 in Berlin with 🗣 great talks on the latest research in enteric #neuroscience 🫂 meeting friends and collaborators 🏆 and best of all: our MD-stundent Sophia Ritter winning a travel award!

G for generosity! Yes, please!

Move beyond ‘publish or perish’ by measuring behaviours that benefit academia

A standardized system to measure contributions in mentorship, collaboration and more could bring about systemic change in science.
