In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

On this July 4, liberate the field from cross-sectional “mediation analysis” - check out this new paper discussing an alternative. I bet it’s an instant classic. My sense is that folks continue bad practices bc they don’t know what else to do. This solves that

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Wichtige Petition für den direkten Zugang zu Psychotherapie für Patient:innen. 👇
Bisher kann man ohne Überweisung durch den Hausarzt zur Psychotherapie. Im aktuellen Koalitionsvertrag steht, dass sich das ändern soll. Diese Petition möchte das verhindern:

4/ @annevogel.bsky.social demonstrated mental health benefits of romantic relationships for bi+ folks, but whether someone is happy with their relationship and status (e. g., being happily single) matters!
3/ Laura Weber presented her talk on predictors of family accommodation across disorders and age groups, highlighting how separate research traditions need to be much more integrated in order to identify the most important, modifiable factors that maintain accommodation.
2/ @nwinkelmann.bsky.social started off with a network analysis of the links between depression and (difficulties in) romantic relationships. Global relationship satisfaction, fear of rejection and loneliness seem particularly important in linking the two.
Proud PI this week 🤩 with several of my doctoral students presenting their work. They did a fantastic job and it was fun too!

Finanzierung der Weiterbildung wär auch was, but here we are…
Wichtiges Panel zum Tagesstart. Weiterbildung und Promotion muss integriert möglich sein, ohne wissenschaftliche Qualität einzubüßen oder unzumutbare Bedingungen zu schaffen. Es gibt noch viel zu tun!
