12 years separate these two pictures, and in the meantime we moved from Maître de Conférences (assistant professor) to Professor. The big difference? We lost the French style! ^^

More preregistered cognitive dissonance without choice findings! Choosing for people makes them rationalize they like the task more. From @kurtmunz.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Deliver... #psych

MDPI and Frontiers as sponsors of APS Congress, that is a shame! 🤬

A (serious) game to guess if a study has been replicated based on the abstract! (and IF). lukasroeseler.github.io/GuessTheRepl... Amazing but very hard! Nice job @aufdroeseler.bsky.social! This is fun and useful. Best conclusion so far: you cannot trust anything based on the abstract! :)

Thanks to all my co-workers, and happy Laborers' Day to all! #bigteamscience #psysci Special thanks to @epronizius.bsky.social and @mamsmandrill.bsky.social

I'm not a big fan of rituals, but I truly wish us all a better world! Let's remember that people are not their governments. Several of the latter must be stopped now, while many of the former must be supported and empowered to change the game.

What is the current position of @improvingpsych.org concerning the Washington meeting after the last Trump's administration proposal? Requiring 5 years of social media history, phone numbers, and email addresses is invasive and concerning for anyone who values privacy and freedom of thought.

I didn't want to get into this discussion, but after seeing strong reactions to Kelly (2025), I think it's worth helping colleagues think more critically about what the paper actually shows—and doesn't show. Spoiler: not the bombshell some claim. #SocialPsychology #CognitiveDissonance

Was looking into what Cognitive Scientists mean by ‘domain-general’ cognition, and then hit upon this. This is definitely NOT how we use that term. Tip: read the last sentence to understand what went wrong here. Sigh.

Oups. 😄 It seems my close colleague forgot to cut my joke at the end of the sentence... And then not the editor, nor the people in charge of editing considered necessary to change it before publication! #SciencePublication #FunButSad #SadButTrue #FrenchAcademic

In France, only 3% of public spending goes to research — just €27B budgeted for 2025. Shockingly low for a country that prides itself on innovation. 🧪 Underfunded labs 🧠 Brain drain 🏫 Poor faculty conditions Investing in the future isn’t optional. #Research #Science #France #WhereGoesTaxes

How accurately do citations reflect the original research? Do authors truly engage with what they cite? In a new study, we analyze millions of citation sentence pairs to measure citation fidelity and how it varies depending on authors’ engagement with prior literature. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20581 ⬇️
