We need permanent email addresses for correspondence. I doubt that any of the 3 addresses I currently have will still be linked to me in 10 years. One of them, from my time as a postdoc in Basel, has already been assigned to another person with the same name. 📧 bsky.app/profile/mari...
So... I emailed the corresponding author, Emily Brindal, asking for the raw data (because of course I did) and her email is no longer active? (this paper was published not 5 months ago!) This means that JAMA's data sharing statement here is false...
#AcademicChatter Does anyone know a solution to this?
Email addresses change regularly leading to various challenges, e.g. when contacting corresponding authors. 📧 Wouldn’t it be great to have an email address that is verifiably linked to a person in academia but that is persistent over time, like an @orcid.org email? Do we have something like this?

R.i.P. 🪦 laptop. I never meant to drown you. You will be dearly missed.
Insight of the day: a waterproof bike bag keeps water from getting in, but it also keeps water from getting out. If half a liter of water spills inside the bag, the likelihood of it damaging your laptop is … increased. And when was the last time you performed a backup? 👩🏼💻

New #preprint 📄 We explored links between type- & timing-specific characteristics of Childhood Maltreatment (CM) and epigenetic aging in formerly out-of-home placed individuals. CM, esp. abuse in late childhood and mid adolescence, was linked to Hannum’s age deceleration in young adulthood.

New preprint! 🎉 I analysed 1660 papers from 4 psychology journals and found materials sharing went from 9% of papers in 2015 to 82% in 2025, and these materials *do* get downloaded — a median of 135 times each. BUT shared code is often hard to run. doi.org/10.31234/osf... Let's walk through it 🧵

🔗 Read the full publication here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ps... Congratulations to @mariame.bsky.social and all the researchers involved in this major milestone! Read, comment and stay tuned on what comes next 💬 #NODES #psychoneuroendocrinology
Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not a biologist. Also, please share your ideas of how to use this expression in everyday academic life. I was thinking of: “God damn, my code ain’t running but I can’t find the nonsense-mutation causing the premature termination!”
Once in a while, I read a paper and think “Funny typo”, just to find out it’s an essential biological process. Today’s catch: Nonsense-mediated decay🎣 Nonsense-mutations are mutations that introduce a premature stop codon into mRNA. Named process detects those transcripts and degrades them.

Conference marathon! 🔥 @ispne.bsky.social in Erlangen was a real blast last week, with so many cool discussions on methods and content and a huge motivation burst on my side. I presented the final results of the #NODES Delphi study and brand new findings on how insulin shapes the stress response.
After a day of recalibration (visiting the collection on Walter Moers’ work in Erlangen, a long car ride and a long run), I am now very much looking forward to the next days in Luxemburg where the conference of @dgps.bsky.social takes place.
We started the day with a fully packed room in our symposium on “Standarizing (Open) Science?“ - wonderfully organized by @lspitzer.bsky.social and Maximilian Frank. It is wonderful to see so many great initiatives that aim to make the adoption of open science practices easier 👏
#ISPNE2026 is starting with the first full day in sunny Erlangen today with a keynote by Karin Roelofs ( @epanlab.bsky.social )on the freezing response opening the day after fab poster flash talks Very much looking forward to the next days discussing all things hormones!

🚨 New paper from our group: Across 164 participants, we find that virtual nature is retrospectively perceived as helpful in dealing with an acute stressor, but does not change immediate psychological, autonomic, or hormonal responses to it, suggesting a disconnect in recalled and immediate reactions
We ran a registered randomized controlled study with 164 participants to test whether virtual nature before or after an acute stress task affects stress reactivity and subsequent recovery. Participants retrospectively said that nature helped them prepare for and recover from the stressor BUT… (1/4)

Flashback zu der Woche, als eine Maus in unserer Wohnung (altes Bauernhaus) eine Familie gründen wollte. 🪤 Viel Glück beim fangen!
Habe letzte Nacht vor dem Zubettgehen auch die Maus in der Wohnung gesehen. Ergo hoffen, dass wir sie schnell gefangen bekommen - und dann steht wohl eine Grundreinigung ins Haus. Denn die geht ja leider nicht brav bei uns aufs reguläre Klo ...

I am all the more happy that one of our 🐌 manuscripts has now been provisionally accepted for publication in Translational Psychiatry (preprint linked below) Epigenetic signatures of different types of childhood maltreatment in a high-risk sample: a preregistered replication study 📰
The article is now available online 📰
Pleased to announce that our work on the influence of glucose and acute stress on food craving has been accepted for publication in Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology 📃 The paper will be available #OpenAccess soon! Huge shoutout to my former master student Flora Nasilowski who took the lead! 🌻

I am so grateful to my supervisor @tobiasstaudigl.bsky.social my office buddies and everyone who supported me through this chapter. Excited for what's next: finding a postdoc in human brain data & cognition, curious about all the ways to stimulate the brain! Know of any opportunities? #PostdocSearch

2/ The ReSST is a setup for inducing stress in the lab both WITHIN & BETWEEN sessions We adapted the Trier dream job talk+maths task, added the Iowa singing task for a second stress session (all in front of unresponsive panel 🫣) ReSST materials & detailed instructions here: osf.io/rq5wv/overview
Does sugar affect how you deal with stress? 🍪 I am excited to share that I received funding from the @dfg.de to study the links between acute and chronic glucose intake and HPA axis regulation. I will be hiring one PhD student soon (more infos will follow). (1/3)

As a rather stubborn person, I was happy to find out that there is a protein family named Dickkopf. There are five Dickköpfe (for now). For more fun facts read the Wikipedia page 📃 🐸 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickkopf

Am Wochenende hat das @dgps.bsky.social Projekt zur Einheit und Vielfalt der Psychologie in Berlin getagt - es war eine tolle und intensive Zeit im Haus der Psychologie, mit Besuch der Geschäftsstelle und vielen neuen Ideen und Aha Momenten. Bin gespannt, was uns im Herbst in Göttingen erwartet!
