The first meeting of the #DGPs young members project on the unity and diversity of psychology in Würzburg was a resounding success! 🎉 I am happy to have met so many inspiring scientists, including our young members' representative @mfjsperl.bsky.social who organised this wonderful event.

First neurons didn’t appear overnight. We trace their roots to ancient secretory cells - showing how lifestyle & behavior shaped the evolution of first synapses.🧠🌊 #Evolution #Neuroscience

🧠🌟🐭 Excited to share some of my postdoc work on the evolution of dexterity!

We compared deer mice evolved in forest vs prairie habitats. We found that forest mice have:
(1) more corticospinal neurons (CSNs)
(2) better hand dexterity
(3) more dexterous climbing, which is linked to CSN number🧵

Happy Fechner Day! #psychophysics

I had an incredible time at the @ecvp.bsky.social in Mainz last week! It was fantastic to hear so many insightful talks and connect with a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of fellow researchers. A big thank you to the organizers for their hard work in putting together such an inspiring event.

🧠🎓 Heute war wieder Postersession!

Erneut stellten Studierende zum Semesterabschluss ihre Studienleistungen vor, in der sie Alltagsphänomene spieltheoretisch oder verhaltensökologisch modellieren sollten.

Wir freuen uns über die vielen kreativen Ansätze und die spannenden Diskussionen! 👏

Have been asked by a proof reader to spell out what JASP is an abbreviation for in a new manuscript. Discovered it stands for Jeffrey's Amazing Statistics Program", which is now in the paper.

This makes me happy.

A paper in Nature reports insights into the genetic basis of tail loss during the evolution of humans and apes (hominoids). The authors propose that tail-loss evolution may have led to an increased likelihood of neural tube defects in humans and apes. go.nature.com/3Tg3FeY 🧪

I am looking forward…
