Had a fun talk with @ranabkalkan.bsky.social at her "Faces Behind Papers" podcast. We talked about my academic journey (it started as an accident), current research (emotions, their measurement & the value of mixed-methods) & transition to parenthood (so intense!)

What a week! After 5 days, the #mitnb workshop has come to an end. We had a keynote on time scales and two workshops on careless responding and reliability. The central part of the workshops were the hackathons. We had super diverse hackathons, all designed to assess measurement in #ESM. (1/4)

1st day of #MITNB meeting at @tesc-tilburgu.bsky.social. Excited for the week ahead, where we'll tackle measurement issues in #ESM, e.g. modeling processes across timescales, building a formal theory on measurement, and evaluating statistical assumptions in #ESM data.

Congrats to my colleague @eeskevanroekel.bsky.social! Can't wait for the things she'll do in the next years.
Writing a grant is stressful and can feel lonely. I'm happy we did it together, without any cat fights & competition. Makes it easy to be happy for her, even though my grant wasn't awarded.

Are emotions helpful or harmful?
Young people learn a lot about emotions from their surroundings: parents, friends, social media.
But what does that actually do to how they feel? 💭
I’m incredibly proud and grateful to have received an #NWO #Vidi grant to study these questions! ✨

Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

Two new preprints on multilevel HMMs! Time series data is now pervasive in psychology and new methods are needed to model the dynamics in such data. Hidden Markov Models (HHMs) are powerful models for dynamics in which a system is switching between a number of discrete states.

A major annoying thing about having kids are other parents who constantly compare milestones (e.g. sitting, crawling). These are all averages. The intervals are really wide and where you fall in that interval doesn't really matter. Only if your kid's WAY off, it MAY be that something is wrong.
