A three-panel comic with Peter Parker (Spiderman in his civilian outfit) as the protagonist. The left hand side panel has Peter with a book open with the title "How to finish a paper". The right hand side panel has two images: on the top Peter reads in the book the phrase "Write It". In the bottom right panel, the third one, Peter sheds tears.

Just out of the movies (“The history of Sound”) with a full research program for the coming years in my head. What do I do with all the running and time-to-close projects of mine, dear #AcademicSky?
This becomes more and more an issue in developmental psychology and I am happy to see it happening !
Dear #AcademicSky,
Do you have days off for Easter 🐣? Do you use it to relax or to catch up with work?

Very happy to have attended a webinar by @marliesvdw.bsky.social on how to get our message across in conference presentations!
One more webinar organized by #EARA!
Dear #AcademicSky,
I am very excited to attend a conference next week, but it is only today that I started working on my presentation. What is the latest you have ever prepared your presentation? E.g. the same morning?
The presentation is about #Admiration in #Children, btw.
Yours,
