Can we study placebo effects in rodents? At the @sipsplacebo.bsky.social‬ ECR Summer School in Kraków, Poland, I was proposing that we can do so by using ultrasonic vocalizations as a key element of the anticipatory response. Thanks for the great round table discussions, ‪@sfb-trr-289.bsky.social‬!

This is so cool, @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social!

Participation helps us ask better questions, make knowledge accessible, and connect science to real-world political debates. Exactly the collaboration that is missing in many fields of science. We need more of that… @sipsplacebo.bsky.social
We are so excited to welcome three people with lived experiences from our CRC's patient advisory board to @sipsplacebo.bsky.social #SIPSplacebo2025!
