In academia we don't say "I'm no expert, but..." we say "This paper is the first to study" and I think that's beautif

Spent the day in Bern at a workshop organised by the Swiss Young Academy on innovative teaching tools. I joined as a speaker to share a teaching format I developed where students created digital health content for an Instagram profile Always inspiring to exchange ideas on creative ways of teaching✨📚

🎉 We were very happy to host @sabrinanorwood.bsky.social for a guest talk on digital behaviourism, a fascinating approach grounded in operant conditioning that can help explain digital behaviour beyond aggregate measures of screen time. 📖 You can read the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

#ICA26 highlight ✨ Presented my scoping review of mental health content creators in the session I chaired: “Mental Health Discourse on Social Media: Creators, Content and Effects”. Great panel, great discussion with @danilkowa.bsky.social and Yueliang, grateful to everyone who joined!

Really cool: have already received 5 people who are interested. Sometimes I’m wondering whether bsky has sufficient outreach — so that’s really cool. Often you don’t need to reach many but the right people 🤍

Are you a Comm scholar and want to push #openscience in our field? The @icahdq.bsky.social committee "Open Access Open Scholarship", which I'm chairing, is currently looking for a new member. Interested? Then reach out and I'm happy to share more information!

I highly recommend this book! ((so much so that I even wrote a review of it. You can read it here: www.hope.uzh.ch/scoms/article/view/9772 ))

Happy to have received the @sgkm.bsky.social Dissertation Prize 2026 for my thesis “Not All Those Who Navigate Are Lost: Self-Determined Patients Facing Mental Health Misinformation in Online Communities for Mental Health Symptoms” funded by @snf-fns.ch and defended at @usi.ch 🎉 hit me up for a copy

Seminar lecturer here 👋 Quick tip 💁‍♀️ I recommend sending students a pre-course survey to assess their theoretical and methodological background before the seminar begins. Two key advantages (see thread) 🧵👇

Happy to share that my book review of Prof. @acerbialberto.com "Tecnopanico" is now published in Studies in Communication Sciences @sgkm.bsky.social 🎉

Thank you to @nicolebizzotto.bsky.social for this great review (in English!) of Tecnopanico www.hope.uzh.ch/scoms/articl...

To help our @ikmz.bsky.social students write their master thesis, we developed a guide with tips and tricks. If you're interested, you can download it here👇 drive.switch.ch/index.php/s/... Feel free to reuse it or provide feedback!

I need to say this so very, very loudly: 👏 null 👏results 👏 are 👏 not 👏 no 👏 results 👏 👏 null 👏 findings 👏 are 👏 not 👏 unfortunate 👏 👏 null 👏 results 👏 are 👏 not 👏 errors 👏 👏 null 👏 findings 👏 do 👏 not 👏 need 👏 to 👏 be 👏 "fixed 👏 with 👏 "more data" 👏 We really need to sort this, y'all.

lmao some of the #ica26 reviews i’m receiving are straight up copy and pasted from chatgpt how cool what a slay. for example:

The reviews went out from our biggest conference in my field #ica26 Partial (AI) reviews are now a real problem. As a community we need to address this and work on standards. No one deserves AI slop as reviews.

Happy to be part of this initiative as an Editor, together with @philippesloksnath.bsky.social and other scholars. Stay tuned: we’re working on new ways to further increase the reach of this valuable tool. Thanks @shkessler.bsky.social for involving me!

@tobiasdienlin.com spoke today at the @ikmz.bsky.social PostDoc Club about his journey to becoming a professor. My take-home message? Balance is key: be strategic, but don’t overdo it: people notice. And just be yourself (but… not too much and not always 😄).

Good news straight from my IG feed: "When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018." ⁠(sciencemagazine) Original article: srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Top three reasons given why female scholars are less likely to share their research online: - Considered less effective - Less time to do so - Considered more harmful Data from Agnes Horvat, n > 3.000.

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉 As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices www.nature.com/articles/s44...
