Student researchers in Dr. Kiran Soma's Lab

New research by Dr. Toni Schmader and her team offers insight into why women remain underrepresented in STEM: the persistent belief that men and women are “naturally” interested in different kinds of work. More: psych.ubc.ca/news/nature-...

I will never not be excited that past-Charlotte spent so much time on the preregistration, because now I already have half a method section written without having worked on the manuscript at all!

Personal opinion: description of anything in the method section should not be shortened and put in supp. These are the crucial details that make it transparent and facilitate replication.

Psa to my eyelink-using friends: the latest version of windows will cause your experiment timings to fail. Don’t update this time!! (And don’t ask me how I found out 😭😭😭😭😭😭)

Ein kleines Kind sitzt auf einem Stuhl vor einem Laborarbeitsplatz und schaut aufmerksam auf den Bildschirm eines Computers, der mit einem Massenspektrometer verbunden ist.

Zum Abschluss des Tages noch ein Gedanke, der mich seit Monaten begleitet:
In den letzten 12 Monaten durfte ich mit vielen tollen Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen arbeiten.

Und dabei ist mir eines immer wieder aufgefallen:
Viele wollen rennen, bevor sie laufen können.

Thanks to the @agrigambling.bsky.social for organizing their incredibly stimulating annual conference in Banff. It is inspiring to see all the research that is conducted in our field and to meet all those brilliant researchers. Keep up the great work.

This is a really important piece for every scientist (right now especially in Canada). Give it a read!

I am thrilled to share this call for papers with you at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science.

@cassie-boness.bsky.social and I, alongside @aidangcw.bsky.social, are looking for proposals on the science and practice of behavioral addictions research.

New research by @charlotteeben.bsky.social out of the Centre for Gambling Research at UBC

I got to write a little something about the illusion of control.

Thanks to @natrevpsych.bsky.social I now have a my first single author publication ✨

Check out their other journalclub papers, it‘s a cool article format for ECRs!

I asked DeepSeek to develop a scale to measure addiction to addiction scale development and of course it delivered.

ping @joelbillieux.bsky.social If you can be addicted to milk-tea, this is surely not over-pathologizing of behavior...

"Scissor Graph" showing men overtaking women in proportional representation in sciences after doctorate

Happy International Women's Day! Despite the efforts, while much more women enter scientific fields, due to numerous factors, few manage to remain in the field or secure senior positions. Support your coworkers, call out harmful systemic behaviour. 😘

We submitted to Frontiers?! 😱

It's a comment on a Frontiers paper (doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...) purporting to measure “problem gambling.”

But they didn't! The scale was edited: “gambling” was changed to “spending money on gacha.”

So it no longer measured “problem gambling.” 🤦

It is one of my favorite projects because I rallied all those amazing researchers on the paper. Everyone was excited about the project and trusted that an ECR like me could lead this. If this is not the environment that we want to create in our field, I don't know what is😎

Shout out to Beáta Bőthe, Damien Brevers, @lukeclark.bsky.social @joshuagrubbsphd.bsky.social Robert Heirene, Anja Kräplin, Karol Lewczuk, @lucas-palmer.bsky.social @jcesarpl.bsky.social @peterslab.bsky.social Ruth van Holst, and Joel Billieux for believing in ECRs!

Informed by our own experiences, we made some recommendations of how to collaboratively implement open science in our field.
