Brilliant and much-needed paper, by the brave Anna Kende and József Pántya, examining how we can protect academic freedom in illiberal political contexts. It’s a must-read. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/ejsp...

After a few years of academic wandering, I’m finally (hopefully) settling down and starting a new postdoc at Örebro University, Sweden - thanks to Marie Curie :) www.oru.se/english/empl...

Our paper on teachers’ role in preventing gender-based violence is out! We looked at what drives or limits teachers in Italy & Hungary (where the government adores this topic) when organizing GBV-prevention activities—from self-efficacy & moral responsibility to barriers like training & politics.

When a famous artist or athlete commits abuse, why do we often ask first about their career, not the victim? I spoke with WMN about the evergreen dilemma: can — or should — we separate the abuser from their art? 🔗 wmn.hu/wmn-life/655...

Hősök a színpadon, bántalmazók az életben – Miért rajongunk értük mégis?

Ha egy hírességről kiderül, hogy bántalmazó, miért nem akarjuk elhinni? A válasz a sztereotípiákban és a rajongásban rejlik.

Extremely disappointing & cowardly. The American Psychological Association is rescinding diversity requirements. Not due to any actual mandate from the federal government, but only because it may *someday* face pressure from the government www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

Under Pressure, Psychology Accreditation Board Suspends Diversity Standards

As the Trump administration threatens to strip accrediting bodies of their power, many are scrambling to purge diversity requirements.

We stand with Ukraine. “We condemn the morally reprehensible position of the Hungarian Government, which is seeking to impose a ceasefire or 'peace' on Ukraine without practicable conditions or guarantees.“ ukrajnainyilatkozat.github.io

Had such a great hands-on workshop on open science and data handling with Sarah Zahreddine organised by ISPP ECC @polpsyispp.bsky.social. It made me more confident with data, and showed how small, seemingly irrelevant things matter. The FAIR principles finally got real, practical meaning.

I love this initiative! Contact these research labs if you want to get more feedback or new perspectives on your research. Also a great opportunity to start collaborations.
