Reminder: much of the current rise of white supremacism can be attributed to a complete misrepresentation of Darwin's work by 19th century racist philosopher Herbert Spencer. Darwin's view, contrary to that of the racists, was that compassion is humanity's strongest evolutionary instinct.

It's easy to switch bank. Make sure your money is not fuelling the fire. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3gA...

Going out for sports is a long standing tradition… but what happens and what is likely to happen when heat waves hit? Check the paper 👇

I have been participating in this coalition since 2016. It is a great platform that brings different international associations in pursuit of the same goals.

New paper in #HealthPolicy: It appears that the German public is far more willing to accept nutrition policies to protect population health and improve the sustainability of food systems than reflected in German policy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Heroic move from @deevybee.bsky.social to resign from the @royalsociety.bsky.social as long as Elon Musk remains a fellow. "“It just....seemed such a contradiction of all the values of the Royal Society. And I didn’t really want to have anything to do with it.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Transformative Adaptation. Great dissemination effort. Thank you for this. Clear and honest.

Been attending this Psychology Day @ the UN for many years now representing the EHPS. These are engaging events that aim to disseminate psychological knowledge for a better society. 2025, April! Online and free of charge. More info to follow. @coensharon.bsky.social is co-chairing the SC

A very rare condition that demands a lot of self management. This was a very interesting project that led to the development and testing of personalised interventions. Personalised using N1.

Wonder how the Vividness Bias is linked with the disinformation (swirling around us like a cyclone)?

Our new MRU we hope it will open the doors to engage underserved communities in research.

I really appreciate vaccines: being able to control when and how my immune system is exposed to a particular feature (these days we have even more ways of doing this things to mRNA research ) that leads to produce natural defences… this autumn I already took the influenza and the COVID-19 vaccines.

For those who find it hard to lose past tweets (ex -Xs) and want to erase all in the previous platform here are some tools that @drrodebaugh.bsky.social has just shared. Thank you!

Great feature of Bluesky… its “starter packs”, or groups of people with similar expertise and interest! This one is the Cardiosky. Does Psychology or Health Psychology have one?

Great event today. When AI meets medical devices… how new laws impact the development of medical devices that use AI. Highly recommend learning more about this.
