Balancing academia, family, and personal health can be tough. A year ago, I started jogging once a week to pick up my kids from daycare—fun for them & good for me (at least until they get heavier 😅). More about combining academia with family at the Parenthesis blog: parenthesis-blog.de

What a great end of a fantastic #FGSP2025 conference @ruhr-uni-bochum.de organized by @hansalves.bsky.social and @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social. We will give our best to organize a similarly good #FGSP3027 conference in Lüneburg @leuphana.bsky.social in 2 years.

Pursuing a career in academy while having a family can be challenging! @rolandimhoff.bsky.social presented a poster about this challenge at the current #FGSP2025 conference. More insights can be found on the following blog: parenthesis-blog.de

@hansalves.bsky.social and @wilhelmhofmann.bsky.social kicking off the #FGSP2025 @ruhr-uni-bochum.de. I'm very much looking forward to inspiring talks and discussions over the next couple of days.

Today, the #AOWI2025 conference at @leuphana.bsky.social kicked off with an @de.in-mind.org writing workshop among others.

What can be learned from the so-called replication crisis in psychological science? In a recent publication, we summarize the open science movement in a fairytale and explore how business research can profit from it. @susanne-adler.bsky.social @dsiegfried1.bsky.social

Der Parenthesis Blog ist an der #teap2025 mit einem Poster vertreten. Der Blog illustriert anhand individueller Karrierewege, ob und wie eine wissenschaftliche Karriere mit Familie vereinbar sein kann. Erfahrungsberichte können hier nachgelesen werden: parenthesis-blog.de @teap2025.bsky.social

Finally, the hard copy version of the book on automatic imitation, @craccoemiel.bsky.social and I edited, has arrived. We're glad the book is also available as open access via the following link: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

For the next half of a year, I'm on parental leave. I'm glad that spending so much time with the family is possible in Germany. This is my office for the next couple of months 👇

I feel super honored to have been a supervisor of Mareike Westfal's dissertation on automatic imitation together with @ja.ncrusi.us. What a great defense this was today! Congratulations, Mareike!

In a registered report @craccoemiel.bsky.social, Roman Liepelt, Marcel Brass, and myself found weak evidence for the idea that automatic imitation is influenced by animacy belief­—i.e., the belief of whether the other person’s hand is (non)human. econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/10.1027/...

Malte Friese in the house! What a great talk on sexual motivation at Leuphana University!

No place for racism! What a great campaign at Lüneburg!

At last week’s Leuphana expert talk about social innovations, we discussed our #SinTrA project in which we investigate how individuals experiencing barriers to employment can be sustainably integrated into the labor market.
