A tremendously exciting preprint detailing first results of an ambitious multi-week intergenerational art making & hyperscanning study, whose aim was to explore the naissance of friendships 👥 Massive props to @ryssamoffat.bsky.social for leading and to @introspection.bsky.social for the fab collab!🌟
EXTRA special thanks to my superb cohost @antoniahamilton.bsky.social , and to our amazing speakers, @jamieward.bsky.social, @christianholz.bsky.social, Christine Falter-Wagner, Agnieszka Pluta, Ivana Konvalinka, Elizabeth Jochum, and Hayley Hung! 🤍🩵💙
What an utterly delightful, inspiring and downright ace two days it has been hosting the Zurich Neuroscience Center-sponsored Social Connection workshop at @ethz.ch‘s glorious Villa Hatt! 🤩 SO much brilliant research & discussion shared while we socially connected over great food and stellar views!
It was truly lovely to speak with the awesome team behind @storiesofwin.bsky.social ! Thanks so much for giving me this opportunity to share my story, gals! 💞🧠💃🤖
Such a brilliant study and SO exciting to see this in press! Congrats Guido & team! 💪🙌🕺

Happy Int'l Day of Women & Girls in Science! 👩🔬 The #HBTransform Leadership voyage to Antarctica with 120 women & non-binary STEMM leaders has been deeply inspiring, but my 💙 breaks for my US friends facing ignorance threatening research. At least at Palmer Station, it was still science as usual.
Super proud of #TeamSBS & friends for this awesome #PreprintFriday drop! 👇 Keep scrolling to learn about a mixed-methods approach for exploring what kids of different reading levels want in a robot reading companion 👀📕🤖 Kudos to @natecaruana.bsky.social, @ryssamoffat.bsky.social & Hannah!
Out of office on ✅, team in great shape to rock next 4 weeks when I'm away ✅, & final weekly swim in the Limmat was in perfect sunshine! Tomorrow I'm Antarctica-bound, joining 123 other women in STEMM to hone our leadership & community-building skills💪💙

New year, new paper from the Social Brain Sciences team! ✨✨Very excited to share this paper presenting 3 pre-registered experiments on the perceived morality of AI-generated (visual) art, led by ace neuroaesthetics postdoc Ionela Bara! Out now in Cognition! 🧠🎨🤖 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Awesome to see these data from my PhD (collected many, many moons ago!) provide the grist for this super interesting new analysis- I certainly learned something new about participants‘ performance of this task! 🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢🪢
This was a tremendous event on every level- the quality of research showcased, the thoughtfulness & accessibility of the science narrative for a diverse group of participants, the curation of participant artworks, the setting AND the snacks! Perfection in community science form! Kudos, Ryssa! 👏🧠🔦🍷🇨🇭💙
Know of any colleagues/pals not yet in an #fNIRS starter pack who should be? 🧠 💡

Big shout out to @ryssamoffat.bsky.social & Tanja for representing #TeamSBS down on the snowy dock today (note to selves: neoprene booties would be good for next time! 🥶)
Things are hotting up with the Cold Water Cognition crew! ❄️❄️❄️ First snowfall meant this week’s Limmat dip featured ethereal city snowscapes for our aesthetic pleasure as we swam along! I’m sure there’s a study to be done about not feeling as cold (/miserable) when immersed in a winter wonderland!
Are humanoid robots perceived as mindless mannequins? 🤔🤖👤👁️
Check out our latest paper to find out! 👇👇👇
This particular paper was a long time in the making, but so exciting to see it out in the big bad world! Extra big thanks/congrats to @letstido.bsky.social 🦾
If not full already, then yes please, me too!
