Podcast episode out 🎙️ I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Serena M. Stagnitto (UniPV) on the podcast Psycho-Myths, addressing the common belief "numbers don't lie". We discussed topics of replicability, research choices, correlation vs. causation, & how to interpret scientific results 🔬 [1/2]

We didn’t receive the (randomly drawn) prize money 💰🤷 but are very grateful for the recognition and congratulate the other shortlisted teams - let’s collectively improve the working conditions in academia! 💪 Thanks @jungeakademie.bsky.social and @volkswagenstiftung.de!

Our new preprint "fAIr science — How AI can support a transparent biopsychological research cycle" is out 🚀 AI is rapidly entering biopsychological research, from literature review and study design to data analysis. But can these tools advance open science, or do they risk undermining it? 👇 [1/4]

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]
