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 🤓

🤩PREPRINT ALERT🤩: "State of Social Cognition Research: Challenges, Future Directions, and Efforts Toward Consensus Building" osf.io/preprints/ps... Authored by the ManySocialMinds Community and presented at @escaneu.bsky.social in Rome, Italy.
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 🤓

What makes me happy every day? My birds :) Just look at them! Please support wildlife in your region: Do not mow your lawn too often (or better, not at all), plant native trees, and provide animals with fresh water on hot days (and always clean your feeder).@birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdlife.at
I agree that we should not. Yet the country of my birth is currently invading an independent sovereign country. There may be peace someday, but that will not bring back the people who have been killed. Do I want to collaborate with everyone? Yes.
Should we boycott researchers in large research projects? In this post I argue we should not. open.substack.com/pub/rolfzwaa...
Thank you, @rolfzwaan.bsky.social, for inviting me to be part of this episode. I can talk for hours about Big Team Science, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to do so here. It was a real pleasure discussing the advantages & the challenges that come with working at scale.

So happy to stay late to discuss “Passengers or Drivers: How Are AI and Human–AI Interactions Reshaping Academia...?” by D. T. Jacques. What do you think about teaching & the use of AI from both perspectives, students & instructors? The first day of @improvingpsych.org was trully a blessing!
Another cool session "What Does a Future Archive of Scientific Psychology Look Like?" by @drhelenapaterson.bsky.social How inclusive or exclusive should @psyarxivbot.bsky.social be? What is out of scope? Can we reliably determine whether a paper has been largely AI-generated? So many questions…
Today was my AHA moment. Did u know that R Markdown can cite all packages for u when you knit the document? And it only requires two lines of code. Silly me - I was citing every package manually. Thank you @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social for teaching me so many cool things today! @improvingpsych.org
