A few more photo archives I'd love to post but the picture count limit didn't allow me to do so in my last post.
It was a lovely day and it was really nice talking with so many people sharing keen interests in this young but growing field.

Recap NEUROPOL Workshop 🧠
Last Friday, Jan 23, @hotpoliticslab.bsky.social (University of Amsterdam) hosted the event “Turning Politics Inside-Out” to bridge internal and ecological validity in political neuroscience research.
Here are some recaps of this fun and interdisciplinary day we’ve had.

Turning Politics Inside-Out: NEUROPOL Workshop! 🧠🗳️
Amsterdam, January 23rd
We're discussing the core challenge of Political Neuroscience: How do we bridge the gap between detailed cognitive mechanisms (high internal validity) and real-world political behavior (high ecological validity)?
