✨ ✏️ The final meerkat sketches are ready! Straight from the Open Science Retreat #OSR25 in 🇨🇭 1/8

Sketching meerkats wasn’t on the list of activities I expected from this Open Science Retreat. But meerkats are social creatures and open science is all about community! 👀 Keep an eye out for our meerkats and other exciting resources for people who spead the good ( #openscience ) word! #OSR2025

This group at the Open Science Retreat is creating a game similar to Family Feud called "Survey says: Open Science" Help needed: Fill in the blanks in the following 12 statements about Open Science to help the group get 100 answers: buff.ly/WTtpZCA We will play it tomorrow! #OSR25CH #OpenScience

💃🧠 Psyched to share my latest paper in Neuron on the past, present and future of dance neuroscience research! Crazy to think where this field will be in 20 more years 🚀 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kkh3_KOmx... #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #Dance #CognitiveNeuroscience #Neuroaesthetics #BrainScience

🧑‍🎨🤖📚 We invited children with different reading levels to design their own reading robot companions – and what did we learn? New preprint: “It’ll cheer you on!” Children with and without reading difficulty value robot reading companions that are smart, supportive, and personal osf.io/preprints/ps...

🌟 My science highlight of 2024: My first foray into #communitybased science. From Nov '23 to June '24, we collected an amazing data set with the help of 122 of #Zurich's finest young adults and senior citizens.

In real time, as I scour our new #fnirs #neuralsynchrony paper for typos, the preprint is out! Synchrony indeed. Hats off to the DevCogNeuro team for speedy mgmt and our *genuinely* helpful reviewers! Grateful to @rachelromeo.bsky.social & Elizabeth Redcay & families who inspired us! #fnirshyper 🧠🔦

🔎 Ever sorted through 1464 pieces of art to find 61 pieces for a show? Today, Medea Häuselmann and I selected one jointly-drawn piece per participant pair that completed our #longitudinal study on #intergenerational relationship development.

An exciting joint-PhD opportunity! Focus: language and 🧠 As an alumnus, would recommend and I’m happy to answer questions. P.s. this is how I got into #fNIRS!

👋 #EarlyCareerResearchers, interested in a writing a conversational piece on your favourite #psychology/ #neuroskyence topic? I highly recommend throwing your 🎩 in the ring! Instructions for journal club pieces at the bottom of the @natrevpsych.bsky.social webpage: www.nature.com/nrpsychol/co...

Regular icy dips sure do keep the scientific inspiration flowing☀️❄️ 🙏 @tanjaulrich.bsky.social + @escross.bsky.social for the company!
