Don't let the lack of funding stop you from attending #SIPS2026!
SIPS has made a limited number of grants available to support SIPS members to attend the SIPS 2026 Meeting:
💸Student and postdoc travel support
💸Diversity travel support
💸Internet/technology funds (online SIPS)
Apply by Feb 6!
First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...
We actually discussed this issue and use Craig Hedge's work to argue that behavioral tasks are usually designed with a different goal than self-report measures. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
But would always use the S-UPPS-P to measure impulsivity!
Das hier ist ein großes Problem: Es gibt nur sehr geringe Chancen auf eine Dauerstelle in der deutschen Wissenschaft. Ich war trotzdem erfolgreich und habe einen Thread vorbereitet, dicht gepackt mit Tipps und Infos, wie man es trotz der geringen Chancen auf eine Dauerstelle schaffen kann:

💡 What’s next:
🤝 Collaboration between individuals, institutions & societies
📚 Knowledge transfer
🎯 Goal: an inclusive & fair open science culture that strengthens trust and reliability in research.
⏳ Across the board:
➡️ Positive towards open science
➡️ Need more time
➡️ Need more resources
➡️ Need more institutional support
➡️ Need more training
👩🔬 Early-career researchers (ECRs):
✨ Put higher importance on open science than the more senior counterparts
😟 Feel they lack knowledge & fear making mistakes
🧑🏫 More senior researchers:
📈 Highlight increased workload
💸 Point to weak incentives
After writing this opinion piece, the team wanted to know if and how the field embraces open science practices and what we need to do better.

New research by Dr. Toni Schmader and her team offers insight into why women remain underrepresented in STEM: the persistent belief that men and women are “naturally” interested in different kinds of work. More: psych.ubc.ca/news/nature-...
I will never not be excited that past-Charlotte spent so much time on the preregistration, because now I already have half a method section written without having worked on the manuscript at all!

DMs or emails welcome! Please share!
Personal opinion: description of anything in the method section should not be shortened and put in supp. These are the crucial details that make it transparent and facilitate replication.

Zum Abschluss des Tages noch ein Gedanke, der mich seit Monaten begleitet:
In den letzten 12 Monaten durfte ich mit vielen tollen Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen arbeiten.
Und dabei ist mir eines immer wieder aufgefallen:
Viele wollen rennen, bevor sie laufen können.
