I'm currently at the wonderful @oegpjuwis.bsky.social #writingretreat, working on a grant proposal. Can we please arrange for all our academic events to have emotional support cats (and goats, dogs, and pigs)?

In non-science news: The nin concert in Vienna was amazing!

Got to hold today's undergrad differential psych lecture at our department. Today's topic was The Self and I loved, how much I learned preparing for it and (even more) discussing it with the students.

My train is about to arrive. Almost on time & the views remain amazing. Here's to train travel 🚂

Absolutely in love with the views I get to enjoy on my way to Göttingen, where I'll work on a super exciting project with @larspenke.bsky.social and Larissa Wieczorek. Let's hope the train gods (looking at you, DB) remain in my favor for the next 8 hours.

The Graz Open Science Initiative is hosting a discussion round on Open Science X AI on Jan 31. We have great contributors and would love your insights and ideas! There's only a few seats left though. So if you're in Graz, be sure to sign up soon: tinyurl.com/OSxAIgraz

Saw a great (though quite devastating) play yesterday evening. The most devastating fact about it: it was written in 1778 and is premiering right now. Why? Most likely because its author Christiane Karoline Schlegel was a woman.

Currently feeling lots of emotions. Just finished teaching the first session of my new seminar on sexuality and relationships. First time teaching these topics & got great questions and inputs from the students.

Reasons for loving the city I live in #1: Twice per year there's a big flea market where people open their gardens/yards to everybody and basically the whole city becomes a living room for all of us.

Discovered this sculpture ("Die Pietá" by Anna Chromy) on my final walk through Salzburg this afternoon. #DPPD2023 is officially over and was full of great talks and chats with amazing people. I'm looking forward to catching up on sleep though 😅

I'm usually really not one to do anything work-related on Sundays. And I don't believe in posting about work on the weekend. But look at how beautiful the psych institute in Salzburg is 🤩

Spent the last couple of days at a writing retreat organized by our uni's postdoc office. View, people, and atmosphere were amazing ✨ And I'm traveling on with a nearly done results section for a paper I'm very excited about 🤓

🔎 I'm a personality researcher focusing on bias & accuracy in self- and other-perception. Also interested in anything related to gender, sexuality, relationships, open science & trust in science.
🌊 Happiest at the seaside & in communities aiming to improve science/academia.
