This was a really great discussion with people pushing the boundaries of scientific resesrch in their ManyMany projects. Really the cutting edge of scientific knowledge generation!
Tomorrow I will give a webinar on preregistration for the ManyMany's: What’s the use of preregistration for Big Team Science? You can join for free for the talk, and discussion afterwards.

Since last year (with many thanks to @epronizius.bsky.social!), I have been part of the 'Many Social Minds' community: a group of ECRs who want to better understand the current state of social cognition research, its key challenges, and its future directions. JOIN US: manysocialminds.univie.ac.at

It was sooo much fun!!!
We finally tackled our lab cleanup - turns out 15+ years of research leave a trail:
- Folders of printed papers 🗞️
- Old study materials & consent forms 📁
- Cables, phones, and chunky monitors 🖥️
- Lots of dust 🧼
Thanks to our team for the joint effort - we promise to keep it tidier now 🤞

Happy New Year! Muss es wirklich sein? .... #BanFireworks #Feuerwerk

#banFireworks 2025 is close to an end. Let’s just let it pass by.
For many wild animals, fireworks can be a death sentence. They get scared & run against windows / buildings in panic. This has nothing to do with celebrating.
Pls be mindful of those who cannot speak but share this earth w/ you. #2026

You don’t speak German? I hear you! Here is the English open-access version: osf.io/preprints/ps...
"The Neural Basis of Empathy in Borderline Personality Disorder - a Review."
On a sidenote: Was I, as a moderator of OSF, allowed to accept my own preprint? Nope 🙂 No shady business here!
December 17, 2025 at 8:38 AM
I was told that I have decisioned over 1,700 preprints this year! 😱Moderators, including myself, are driven by our commitment to making science better. This means staying vigilant against AI-generated spam & allowing researchers around the world to share their work openly.
Pls support PsyArXiv!
Metadata matters!
If you submit a preprint to PsyArXiv, to ensure smooth acceptance, don't forget to fill out the metadata correctly.

Below you will find a few tips, but detailed guidelines are at 👉 buff.ly/M3cRBW2

You rock, Emma!!! What a great initiative.
It was a pleasure to introduce the Better Together campaign at the University of Vienna as the local coordinator for Vienna yesterday 🧡. I am so excited to bring the EFPSA Social Impact Initiative anti-discrimination campaign to Austria! 🤩

Results from study of mental health in 92 countries (n>53,000): People are not doing well.

- U-shape for age is gone: Young adults lowest health, highest illness
- Education still matters (a lot)
- 45% of older people live alone
- Hybrid work > 100% remote or in-person

I’m so excited to be here! Let the career day begin! This is such an important & much-needed initiative. Judging by the number of sessions I’ve signed up for, you can probably tell how uncertain I am about my next career steps. Will it be industry, research, or ...? Maybe I’ll find out today!
