Excited to share our new paper: a walkthrough of tools, tradeoffs, & practical decisions #ECRs face when doing #OpenScience across curation, processing, harmonizing, and sharing #MRI and #EEG data. My first as last author!

🚨New paper out in AMPPS! proud to be part of this one, another solid product of @improvingpsych.org✨
We mapped the grey zones of psychology’s research culture through a consensus process. Ever wondered, “Wait... is this a questionable practice?” You’re not alone: doi.org/10.1177/2515... #OpenScience

We know #P3 increases during exclusion after inclusion, but what if we flip it? We tested #overinclusion after #exclusion #P3 stayed stable, but #P2 and self-reports of emotion & belonging shifted.
Inclusion ≠ just the flip side of exclusion.

Really appreciated the timing of this great topic “AI for Dummies: Using AI for good in psychology” at SIPS @improvingpsych.org (see image) 👏We should be having more open discourse on how researchers are actually using #AI in practice, not just what’s possible, but what’s already embedded!

Brought my IGOR bag (from last week’s #PuG2025 @igor-dgps.bsky.social) to SIPS @improvingpsych.org, full circle moment. Both have shaped how I approach open, reproducible neuro + psych research and collaborative methods. Ps. Brainhack still hits different for the nerdiest magic.

Just wrapped up a lecture on how eye gaze modulates brain responses to social exclusion using eye-tracking! My students dug into related topics today — really proud of their work! Some of it even ties into my own research. Always open to collabs! #Empathy #EyeTracking #Exclusion #attachment #culture

I keep asking myself the same question - where is higher education actually flourishing? It feels like institutions everywhere are facing the same challenges: budget cuts, shifting policies, and instability.
Not only in Australia, the UK or USA! Where in the world is the higher education system doing well, I wonder?
Dutch higher education in the news 😔
Universities caught in a ‘perfect storm’ due to government cuts and international student cuts.

How long should you stick with the same journal when feedback intervals are so long that reviewers drop out, leading to new reviewers and multiple rounds of revisions? At what point is it reasonable to move on ( e.g. I wait for 1 yr). Curious about others’ takes on this hidden rule #ScientificReport
