A few more photo archives I'd love to post but the picture count limit didn't allow me to do so in my last post.
It was a lovely day and it was really nice talking with so many people sharing keen interests in this young but growing field.

▶️ What’s Next?
A big thank you to our speakers and participants!
@gustavocjesus.bsky.social
@spinozaurusu.bsky.social
@jiamiaoyang.bsky.social
We will launch a series of events on Political Neuroscience in the upcoming conference seasons (e.g., ISPP, ESCAN) – and we hope to welcome you there!
💡 Takeaways
Resolving the clash of validity requires careful stimuli and study design, and innovative methodology;
Multi-modal data integration, open science, and interdisciplinary collaboration are needed to address pitfalls like the lack of cross-level insights, reverse inference problems, etc.
💡 Highlights (2/2)
Gustavo, Xinyao, Diamantis talked about partisan bias and motivated reasoning.
Kenta Ohnishi talked about political trust in Japan; Jiamiao Yang talked about neural substrates of moral framing; Alan Sanfey shared works in decision neuroscience and moving toward citizen science.
💡 Highlights (1/2)
Our keynote speakers, Marte Otten and @cscholz.bsky.social, shared their experiences of interdisciplinary research, theoretical and practical hurdles, and a roadmap to moving forward
Recap NEUROPOL Workshop 🧠
Last Friday, Jan 23, @hotpoliticslab.bsky.social (University of Amsterdam) hosted the event “Turning Politics Inside-Out” to bridge internal and ecological validity in political neuroscience research.
Here are some recaps of this fun and interdisciplinary day we’ve had.
🧠 Keynote: Marte Otten & Christin Scholz (UvA) on the Neuroscientist's Roadmap.
📊 Data Blitzes: Current research by Social Neuroscientists concerning motivated reasoning, group bias, trust, and more.
💬 Roundtable: Help build the concrete research agenda for the field!
Turning Politics Inside-Out: NEUROPOL Workshop! 🧠🗳️
Amsterdam, January 23rd
We're discussing the core challenge of Political Neuroscience: How do we bridge the gap between detailed cognitive mechanisms (high internal validity) and real-world political behavior (high ecological validity)?
Gave my talk about the neuropsychological mechanisms of motivated reasoning on June 13, Fri. Thanks everyone for coming :)
My first ICA — and it’s been such a joy: great conversations, inspiring talks, and a fantastic community to connect with 💙
