Any preferences?

This new paper shows that when trust in baby formula collapsed in Israel in 2003, many new mothers chose breastfeeding over work.

Ich wusste es implizit, aber dass es so extrem und offen zugegeben wird - wow

Poste gerne den Link zur Umfrage, wenn du Zeit hast, fände ich spannend.

@georghenning.bsky.social do your thing.

Psychologists & related fields: what is a big methods question that you believe remains somewhat unanswered & that you'd love to see adressed? There may be an opportunity for a large-scale meta-science project with many teams trying to figure out a question.

Any thoughts welcome! #psychscisky
