Thrilled that my course on social cognition and mental health ufind.univie.ac.at/de/course.ht... has received a Joint International Teaching Grant from @univie.ac.at and @circleu.bsky.social.

Interesting ... or better say, concerning

Had my first email arising from what seems to be an LLM-guided spite-check of my published code. Anyone else experienced this yet? I'm pulling the repo and verifying the possible error, will happily correct if need be but this seems like a great way to DDoS scientists. #metascience #AcademicSky

To celebrate Julia and Boryana’s visit from their international fellowships, we took the opportunity to tee off with a round of mini‑golf ⛳. @clauslamm.bsky.social took the lead at the final hole with a spectacular hole-in-one - congrats and thanks to everybody that joined 🥇🤝

New international research involving nearly 23,000 participants across 42 countries and regions examines whether gender-fair language can reduce stereotypes about political leadership. With @clauslamm.bsky.social / @scanunit.bsky.social / @psysciacc.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.le...

As Europe scorches under extreme heat, people aren’t the only ones impacted by the high temperatures and humidity.

Austria didn’t make it through last night, but it was still fun cheering for them together with Carolina / @scanunit.bsky.social , @clauslamm.bsky.social and the @evalabs.bsky.social Thanks for organizing it. Go Austria!

New preprint! Riečanský*, I., Pronizius*, E., Marko, M., Mitka, M., de Lorenzo, A., & @clauslamm.bsky.social (2026). EEG and self-report reveal intact cognitive appraisal of others' pain but reduced affective and sensorimotor resonance in adults with autism spectrum disorder. osf.io/preprints/ps...

In addition to a hiring PhD in ~October & hopefully some PhDs and postdocs ~February, if anyone would like to work with me as part of eg a Marie-Curie or something similar, please do get in touch. Topics include depression, classification, measurement, systems, time-series, & theory building.

Congratulations to our colleague @epronizius.bsky.social and our PI @clauslamm.bsky.social for being short-listed for the teaching award of our faculty 🏅 And obviously to the other recipients as well. Happy to have so many great lecturers among us 🤓

I’m truly grateful to be ranked among the Top 3 for the Faculty Teaching Award in “Motivation Promotion – Beyond the Classroom” for my course Proseminar Biological Psychology & Cognitive-Affective Neuroscience at the @univie.ac.at / @scanunit.bsky.social.

How will three groups of psychologists perform in an escape room? By assessing each other's arousal or debating whether frustration is a state or a trait? We recently conducted this bold introspective case study. Preliminary results suggest all groups did great. Thanks to everyone who joined 🤓
