It's sometimes hard for researcher to "read to just read." Well, read this fantastic soon-to-be piece on @thejop.bsky.social by @turnbulldugarte.com and @bertous.bsky.social! Super creative research design, fun read, and cool results! Imagine Love Is Blind meets serious research.

Been lazy about catching up on latest research on Bluesky and missed this gem of a survey by @grahn.bsky.social and @sophiemainz.bsky.social! Not surprised that Michal does innovative research, but a bit surprised at the "liberal" result (in a good way)!
