Last week I spent 3 days in Vienna for the @saa2026.bsky.social #SAA2026 I presented OMSS (incl. live demo: github.com/jorvlan/SAA2...) which is free Python software for reasoning items: pypi.org/project/omss/ And gave a talk with the first results from our CODEC study: doi.org/10.1186/s403...

Proud to be part of this research project on communication dynamics in autism together with Saskia Koch, Jana Bašnáková & Arjen Stolk. The paper is now open-access available in @journalautism.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
This Monday at the @dondersinst.bsky.social departmental BYL ('Bring Your Lunch') meeting, I gave an update about the research projects I have been working on for the past 2.5 years (!)... time really flies 📸 credits: Léa Michel #timeflies #cognitivevariability #byl

I had such a blast presenting the last project of my PhD for a flash talk and a poster at #Flux2025 Grey and white matter are not two separate tissues and we found that adversity is associated significantly differently with grey and white matter measures showing the importance of looking at both!
New paper for anyone working with data: Better data viz - for free, in few clicks. Below, all N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27. One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049. Use raincloud plots. Or risk wrong conclusions! Plot w/ @jaspstats.bsky.social today! 🧪 📊 #PsychSciSky #StatsSky 🧵👇

Just submitted my first individual peer-review, a daunting task, but glad that I did it! Thanks for earlier mentoring @coolenilse.bsky.social @rogierk.bsky.social
Presenting and discussing our CODEC project at #saa2025 @ambulatory-assessment.org in beautiful #Leuven
It was super fun to showcase and discuss some of the first results from our CODEC project with attendees at the #wearables #biomarkers symposium yesterday!
📣 We're excited to announce the symposium: 'Biomarkers and Wearables in Child Research: Ethical and Practical Challenges!' on May 22nd. 📅 Save the date! More information will follow soon. dpblab.org/2025/01/16/u....
Are you an international early career scholar considering spending time in the Netherlands? We likely have capacity to host a Marie Curie Fellow if you are interested. Our lab (lifespancognitivedynamics.com) works on modeling cognitive change in early or later life, at short and long timescales.
A pleasant surprise this morning to hear that I am one of the 2025 @fluxsociety.bsky.social Travel Award recipients. Very much looking forward to the conference this September in Dublin, where I will present the first batch of results from our CODEC study (doi.org/10.1186/s403...)
Looking forward to showcase the first results of our CODEC project on all things EMA measurement of cognitive variability in children @saa2025leuven.bsky.social @ambulatory-assessment.org I'll present during poster session 1 on May 26th!
📢 The SAA program is live at www.saa2025.com/Program and it’s almost too good to be true — but it is true! So many incredible symposia, paper sessions, and posters to choose from that you’re guaranteed some FOMO! 🤯
Are you doing EMA research and wonder how to go about it? In recent work we've adressed some open questions and challenges, here is a brief summary of papers and materials. 🧵 #PsychSciSky 🧪 #StatsSky
Beautiful scenery last weekend during the #sallandtrail 50 miler #ultramarathon result: 07:48:02, 6th overall! Pretty stoked about it!
our R package github.com/njudd/ggrain just hit 30K downloads, very happy to see the uptake and its utility in the scientific community over the past two years @njudd.com @rogierk.bsky.social @micahgallen.com
1/3 Tutorial on exploring ecological momentary assessment data is online at AMPPS, with: - Accessible ways to visualize data for better understanding - Models to get some first insights - Further reading boxes for more advanced topics - Reproducible pipeline you can run over your own data
I highly recommend the eScience fellowship - it has put me in touch with some very cool (& inspiring) people in the Open Software space!
Meet Nicholas Judd (@njudd.com), one of the eScience Center's remarkable Fellows! His work bridges cutting-edge research and advanced computing, driving innovation in data-driven science. Learn more about his journey and contributions in our first #FellowFeature of 2025:

honestly Current Biology has been the best place for me to get inspired. Badass, high quality science of all disciplines
The Raincloud Quartet (new pre-print) All N = 111, M = 0.04, SD = 0.27. One-sided t-tests vs. 0 yield: t(110) = 1.67, p = .049. Only raincloud plots reveal the qualitative differences, preventing the drawing of inappropriate conclusions. How did we create the quartet? Where are data & code? 🧵👇

Looking for pointers on a publicly available longitudinal dataset with the following characteristics: 4 waves (or more), 4 cognitive domains/constructs/tests (or more), easy to access (no multimonth legal wrangling), N>100. Concrete suggestions much appreciated! #PsychSciSky
what a great tutorial Vincent, thanks from me and all the raincloud plot authors!
Don´t plot means & confidence intervals alone; your data is more than that! With easy raincloud plots in JASP you get the full picture and can draw better conclusions. #stats #PsychSciSky 🧪 #dataviz
