Happy to have attended the CoCoFlex seminar today in Ghent. Came for the answers, left with even more questions 🤯 I also presented a poster with some findings on two studies of my Ph.D. project. Thanks to the organizers for a great event!

Very grateful for the opportunity to present our research at the Social Cognition Workshop as a blitz talk (and a poster)! Thank you for the interesting questions and discussions. I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition! 😄

This week, I attended the autism workshop organized by the Delacroix Research Foundation! Three days filled with interesting talks and posters. I loved hearing and learning about different autism research areas (and presented a poster myself!).
