✨Tipps, um postakute Infektionssyndrome doch noch psychosomatisch zu deuten:

- ständig wiederholen, wie ähnlich PAIS und somatoforme Störung seien, ohne zu sagen, sie seien dasselbe
- wieder und wieder das ~Missverständnis~ aufklären, dass Psychosomatik keine psychische Genese annimmt

I am doing a short workshop in this symposium (quoted below) for folks in and around Leipzig. Here's the abstract. I really indulged myself with this one.

A Guerilla Approach to Scientific Workflow:

Running an Open Science initiative but unsure how to make it seen and used?
The OSPARK Bootcamp is your moment.
Over 6 weeks online + a 2-day onsite workshop in Belfast, you’ll build outreach skills and work directly on your own initiative.

The gut-brain vagal axis governs mesolimbic dopamine dynamics and reward events Gut-brain vagal signals gate dopamine ensembles, reshaping reward and motivation beyond a brain-centric view.

"These findings challenge the traditional brain-centric view of reward processing, supporting a more integrated model in which vagus-mediated interoceptive signals intrinsically shape motivation and reinforcement."
Awesome work by @peppeganga.bsky.social & his team 👏

I like the lady horses best, how they make it all look easy, like running 40 miles per hour is as fun as taking a nap, or grass. I like their lady horse swagger, after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up! But mainly, let’s be honest, I like that they’re ladies. As if this big dangerous animal is also a part of me, that somewhere inside the delicate skin of my body, there pumps an 8-pound female horse heart, giant with power, heavy with blood. Don’t you want to believe it? Don’t you want to lift my shirt and see the huge beating genius machine that thinks, no, it knows, it’s going to come in first.

✨ SHINY NEW PAPER ✨

Across 3 datasets (3000+ participants), GFAP in both CSF and plasma consistently mediated the effect of age on cognitive impairment and dementia (MCI/AD incidence)

Nine subcortical/cerebellar atlases included in the subcortex_visualization Python package (and subcortexVisualizationR package in R). The atlases are depicted in two-dimensional vector graphic format.

The extended version of my thesis procrastination project/subcortex visualization package is out now in both Python and R, now that I’ve graduated 🤠 This figure shows the 9 atlases included (and counting)!

Ultimately, our findings suggest that without detailed information on specific procedures and scoring methods, results from the Iowa Gambling Task are essentially uninterpretable.

RegCheck RegCheck is an AI tool to compare preregistrations with papers instantly.

10/🧵

If you’re interested in:
- using RegCheck,
- stress-testing it,
- identifying bugs,
- or formally evaluating its performance,

I’m very happy to talk.

RegCheck RegCheck is an AI tool to compare preregistrations with papers instantly.

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding.

RegCheck was built to help make this process easier.

Today, we launch RegCheck V2.

You can specify relative position in ggplot with I(x) I(y).

E.g. annotate("text", x = I(.5), y = I(.5), label = "hello!") will place the text in the middle of the plot.
This, combined with alignment arguments is like 87% of the magic for me.

Beautiful business research people: The Leibniz Information Centre for Economics has created an accessible introduction to Open Science that you can download in both English and German here: expedition-open-science.org

You can even order the German print version for free!

Thanks to everyone who was there!

It really is fantastic to know that 70(!) people are interested in storytelling to explain science! 💙 😱
