Interested in arousal and interoception in gambling, action control, impulsivity and open science. Rock climber.
After writing this opinion piece, the team wanted to know if and how the field embraces open science practices and what we need to do better.

New research by Dr. Toni Schmader and her team offers insight into why women remain underrepresented in STEM: the persistent belief that men and women are “naturally” interested in different kinds of work. More: psych.ubc.ca/news/nature-...

I will never not be excited that past-Charlotte spent so much time on the preregistration, because now I already have half a method section written without having worked on the manuscript at all!

Zum Abschluss des Tages noch ein Gedanke, der mich seit Monaten begleitet:
In den letzten 12 Monaten durfte ich mit vielen tollen Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen arbeiten.

Und dabei ist mir eines immer wieder aufgefallen:
Viele wollen rennen, bevor sie laufen können.

This is a really important piece for every scientist (right now especially in Canada). Give it a read!
Dr. Catharine Winstanley and Dr. Liisa Galea on why DEI is in everyone’s best interest:

"For decades, most biomedical research used only male subjects, particularly if model systems like cells or rodents were involved." 🧵⬇️
If elected, Poilievre’s government will “put an end to the imposition of woke ideology in the federal civil service and federal funds for university research.”

The phrase is almost identical to wording used by the Trump administration.

Catharine Winstanley and @liisagalea.bsky.social write.

Happy International Women's Day! Despite the efforts, while much more women enter scientific fields, due to numerous factors, few manage to remain in the field or secure senior positions. Support your coworkers, call out harmful systemic behaviour. 😘

We submitted to Frontiers?! 😱

It's a comment on a Frontiers paper (doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...) purporting to measure “problem gambling.”

But they didn't! The scale was edited: “gambling” was changed to “spending money on gacha.”

So it no longer measured “problem gambling.” 🤦

It is one of my favorite projects because I rallied all those amazing researchers on the paper. Everyone was excited about the project and trusted that an ECR like me could lead this. If this is not the environment that we want to create in our field, I don't know what is😎
