Cosy Maastricht as a nice setting for the BeNe Brain Stimulation Conference!
Tried to convince some people of the benefits of study preregistration. Thanks to everyone who came to my poster about this controversial (?? 🤷🏻♀️) topic!

Proud supervisor moment 🤩🤩!
Another LBP story has reached the end: yesterday Laura Vercammen from Bram Vervliet’s lab successfully defended her PhD! Congrats, Laura! @tombeckers.bsky.social @lauraluyten.bsky.social

Oh, #Bordeaux...!
The city where conference rooms have temperatures starting at 30°C and traffic lights are merely a suggestion...
In any case, I've seen a lot of interesting behavioral neuroscience (rats still rule!) and we had a great symposium. Thank you all for that!
Au revoir!

Hi Bluesky, quick question.
Which passive avoidance setup for rats do you like best? 🐀
Thanks!

🚨Paper alert!!🚨
Excited to share out latest research where we investigated avoidance, fear generalization and extinction learning using a modified platform-mediated avoidance procedure in male and female rats.

Behold Laura Vercammen's (scientific) firstborn 🐣! What a beautiful baby ☺️.
Laura looked at the impact of dopamine receptor blockade on avoidance acquisition.

Dit weekend weer héél wat kinderhoofdjes gevuld over "bang zijn"!
😱🧠
Thanks to all the children (and their parents) for taking 600 s to come and listen to one of my lectures at the Psychology Department or in the central KU Leuven kids hub!!! 🙏🏻

Kom dit weekend mee vieren in Leuven! Je vindt alle info - ook over mijn kinderlezing die ik 4(!) keer geef - via kuleuven.be/600jaar/programma/600-secondenlezingen-voor-jong-en-oud.
Tot dan!

She did it! 🥳 (Of course she did!).
Very proud of you, @albalm.bsky.social, PhD!
Again a pleasure to supervise such an excellent young researcher together with @tombeckers.bsky.social ☺️.
