AI Is Inventing Academic Papers That Don't Exist -- And They're Being Cited in Real Journals Academic articles from authors using large language model are creating an ecosystem of fake research that threatens human knowledge itself.

Do not cite an academic paper unless you’ve read it

No causal links between estradiol and female’s brain and mental health using Mendelian randomization - Nature Communications Using Mendelian randomization, no causal links were found between estradiol exposure and brain age gap, Alzheimer’s disease and depression in females. The pattern was consistent for estradiol levels i...

It’s Women’s Brain Health Day 🧠
Women face higher rates of dementia & depression, yet research still leaves major gaps. We can change that.

If you’ve ever attempted a meta-analysis, you’ll know that authors generally do a poor job reporting statistics. If you do this well, you’ll improve your chances of your work being included in a future meta-analysis.

…and data collection is still ongoing. We’ll share a fuller update once the study is complete and we’ve conducted confirmatory analyses - likely within the next year 😊

Our plots currently suggest that in regularly cycling indiv. with varying degrees of premenstrual symptoms, perceived daily stress may follow a cyclical pattern, peaking in the late-luteal phase, with affective symptoms rising around the same time window. ‼️ note: these observations are preliminary..

Plots made with the menstrualcycleR package from @clearlab.bsky.social’s lab - highly recommend it for continuous cycle modeling!

I shared early insights into subjective #stress trajectories over the #menstrualcycle from the first 26 participants and how they relate to affective symptom changes (very preliminary; data collection ongoing). 📈

Excited for my talk at #WASAD2025! I’ll share some initial findings from my ongoing study, focusing on the trajectories of everyday life stress across the menstrual cycle and how they relate to premenstrual symptoms ✨

I’ll present at 10:15 at lecture hall 2. Come by! :)

🌍 We are excited for the 5th International World Association for Stress Related and Anxiety Disorders (WASAD) Congress in Munich! 🎉

Exciting news: the TIDE study, my study about premenstrual exacerbation (PME) of depression, has started!
In the coming year, we aim to include 60 participants with depression and a regular menstrual cycle to examine the prevalence and trajectories of PME in depression. 📈👩🏼‍🏫

What did we find? 🔍

Our review points to a relevant association between stress and premenstrual symptomatology:
🔺Higher stress is linked to more severe symptoms
⤴️ Stress peaks during the luteal phase in individuals with PMS/PMDD
⚡ Trauma history associated with more than double the odds of PMS/PMDD

How are #stress and premenstrual symptoms connected?
And are those with a #trauma history more likely to have #PMS or #PMDD? 🌩️

Our systematic review & three meta-analyses combine evidence from 66 studies to explore these questions.

Excited our work is finally out! ✨

Feeling truly honored to have received an Early Career Award at #ICBM2025! Thank you to the International Society of Behavioral Medicine for recognizing my work!

Excited to share my work tomorrow morning at #ICBM2025 in the Reproductive Health session (10am, HS06)! ✨
Curious how stress and premenstrual symptoms are connected? I’ll be presenting results from a meta-analysis and first insights from my ongoing EMA study.

Titel des Vortrags: Die prämenstruelle dysphorische Störung im Spiegel aktueller Forschung.

Recently, our team member @celinebencker.bsky.social gave a talk on premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) at the Berufsverband Österreichischer PsychologInnen. The session was well attended and sparked inspiring discussions!

We had a great time at last week’s Department Get-together—we shared our recent research developments 🧪📊 with colleagues, followed by mini-golf ⛳ and a delicious dinner 🍽️. A perfect blend of scientific exchange and team bonding!
