When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

I thought that was already the case in the last years.

4️⃣ More people now get news through platforms than from news sites and TV channels. For the first time at the global level, social media and video networks are now ahead of news organisations' own websites and TV news as the most widely used way of accessing news.

Turning some psychological theories into automata, last Friday at ENS :) interesting exercize.

New team science initiative just dropped! manyscale.org We're looking for collaborators to lead repositories of self-report measures in their own psychology subfields.

ManyScale - A Home for Psychological Measures and Constructs

ManyScale will be a network of repositories for self-report measures in psychology.

How do autistic adults make sense of being assigned the "challenging behaviour" label? *RECRUITING PARTICIPANTS* I am autistic & I have been assigned the "challenging behaviour" label Supervisor: @drstevenkapp.bsky.social Email Chloe.Apter@myport.ac.uk to express interest/for more information

Me: I'm strong & independent and I'm fine by myself Also me: makes friends and social plans in London before even arriving, because what if I otherwise end up not making friends during my 1 month research stay~

It was a nice day at ENS Paris Saclay (close to home!🙊) I especially enjoyed Gaspard Fougea's approach to turning psychological theories into finite automata, that looks so interesting and useful - and lucky for me, he'll explain it in more detail the next days (so cool) see arxiv.org/abs/2501.05185

My sister is lucky, can psych modeling workshops please also be in such cool places? 😊🌳🌊

Give a nerd a chart or a map and they will waste a day. Teach a nerd how to make charts and maps and they will waste the rest of their life.

That's too cool, can I do this if I don't speak Italian (yet)? I can deepL my letters and learn languages fast 🥹

This year I've volunteered with @penneamiche.bsky.social, an initiative that connects Italian scientists and schools through letter exchanges 💌 From Sep to May, I wrote to a middle school class in Verona, sharing what it's like to be a neuroscientist and to build a research career abroad. [1/3]

#PuG2026 ended, so I want to share some of my favorite conference quotes:

📢 Our current members and alumni had a symposium titled Beyond Prediction Error: Learning Mechanisms Underlying Perceptual Biases And Belief Persistence #PuG2026 🎉 Congrats to @marianboor.bsky.social @aminjahani.bsky.social Saskia Leißner and David Torrents-Rodas!

If you have access to any the following stats software, would you be willing to run some chi squared tests on a handful of simulated datasets and send me results? I need to verify that that my R implementation of what other software does is correct. - Stata - SAS - StatXact - SPSS DM me :)

The science communication prize at #PuG2026 went to @books-and-brains.bsky.social , and that blog idea really looks so cool! (booknerd here!) 📚💖✨🧠 My bookclub recently read "The other black girl" by Z.D. Harris. There is some weird brain stuff going on in there, if you need recommendations! haha

📢 We're happy to share that Roza Mejza @marianboor.bsky.social and @erikmueller.bsky.social have received a poster prize at #PuG2026 with their poster titled "Conditioned Expectations Potentiate the Perception of Anger in Ambiguous Facial Expressions". 🎉 Congrats to you all!

That is a long conference 🧠 See you tomorrow for the last day 👋

📢 RTG is at #PUG2026! 🎉 Congrats to all! @marianboor.bsky.social @enaalcan.bsky.social Saskia Leißner @aminjahani.bsky.social @laraorphal.bsky.social @zeydsoyuk.bsky.social Franziska Usée @niau.bsky.social et al. 🎓

Such a pretty venue for the conference opening! #PuG2026

That was so cool :) Learning about functional neuroanatomy with @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social at #PuG2026. I've been dreaming of holding a brain since taking that 70h medical neuroscience mooc with Pr. White from Duke uni back in 2022 (loved it, but need to take it again tbh) Thanks for this workshop! 🧠

Happy May the Forest Be With You!

Our members are sharing their research far and wide! 🤗 And this summer we are hosting a stand at the @unimarburg.bsky.social Summer Fest to bring our work to the public. 📅 July 17th Come visit us to learn more about breaking expectations!

Couchsurfing around workshops leads me to present my posters to such a diverse crowd- finance analyst, comic artist, biomedical engineer.. Last year an architect and a hairdresser.. Italian, Indian, German.. Presenting to couchsurfing hosts should count as public outreach 🤭 @rtg2271.bsky.social

Happy to have presented a recent project at the IMT in Lucca - it was great to exchange in this interdisciplinary setting, and especially interesting to learn more about economist's perspectives on similar research questions. Thanks to everyone there!

2 high school students in the library: S1: I asked chat GPT, but it only gives bad answers lately S2: You need to switch to Claude ai. I used it to prepare my physics presentation S1: Really? How did it go? S2: Extremly bad. But I think it was my fault, not Claude's (difficult not to laugh)
