Sharing the first work from my position at @unileiden.bsky.social: "A unified theoretical framework of psychological violence as a harmful violation of psychological integrity" with RM student Sofiane de Groot, Marieke Tollenaar and @martindimarco.bsky.social. Preprint: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
A unified theoretical framework of psychological violence as a harmful violation of psychological integrity
Violence, primarily defined in terms of physical force with the intent of causing physical injury, is increasingly acknowledged as a significant public health risk. However, this narrow definition exc...

Dit is een schrijnend verhaal over hoe armoede leidt tot sociaal isolement, schaamte, verdriet en woede. Dubbel schrijnend is dat die terechte woede zich niet richt op de falende overheid, maar omslaat in ressentiment jegens vluchtelingen. Precies zoals extreemrechts het heeft georkestreerd.

There are dozens of academics signing this open letter to defend the American Eugenicist Nathan Cofnas from the consequences of his own actions. They are calling him a “whistleblower”
As academics, we are concerned that Ghent University's disciplinary proceedings against Dr Cofnas appear to constitute retaliation, at least in part, for publicizing academic misconduct that occurred in British universities.

🧠 What makes threat memories so hard to forget? 🐍😱 Using focused ultrasound we provide causal evidence that the human amygdala drives rapid threat learning 🐍⚡ and determines how resistant those memories become to subsequent extinction 🐍🚫 🆕📄 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The human amygdala in threat learning and extinction
Ultrasonic neuromodulation of the human amygdala provides causal evidence for its role in forming persistent threat memories.
