Younger age and higher socioeconomic position are core characteristics of health app users in Austria, Germany and Italy. Instead of testing inequality indicators separately, we studied them conjointly in a sample of over 2000 adults. Now published in #DigitalHealth: doi.org/10.1177/2055...
I have been on vacation for a week and then attended two conferences in a row. Although I still monitored my emails (deleting spam, responding to the most urgent emails), I am still at 323 emails this morning... 🥴 time for #InboxDetox!
Start: 323 emails/ 162 unread.

EU friends: pls be aware that you cannot share certain types of data on Zenodo because Zenodo does actually not comply with GDPR. @lakens.bsky.social 's blog has a great summary. It's a pretty serious reason to avoid Zenodo for researchers who work with data, if I understand the issue correctly.

Trust in scientists has been declining in Ireland and Canada since the pandemic, shows @gerrymolloy.bsky.social, who also points towards the global war on science. #scicomm is important, so join us in discussing how individual researchers and scientific societies can do better tomorrow! #EHPS2026

#EHPS2026 is kicking off today! I am looking forward to contributing to two sessions, covering my favourite topics: #scicomm and healthy eating.

Three amazing days at the #SAA2026 in Vienna—showcasing #Spica and meeting brilliant people.
Even Vienna’s record-breaking heat couldn’t slow this bear down. ☀️
Heading home with great memories, exciting conversations, and plenty of inspiration.

📢 Research spotlight: At #SAA2026, our PhD student presented findings showing that real-time data collection via smartphones is feasible for people with chronic pain. An important step towards responsive, personalised mHealth interventions that adapt to daily needs.✨

#SAA2026 was so much fun! In addition to learning about all the interesting research going on in the field of ambulatory assessment, I got to present some of my own work on the role of incentives in experience sampling (you can find the preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...).

New Blog post: Which Data Repository Should you Use?

In light of OSF closing down, I compare Zenodo, Dataverse, ResearchBox, PsychArchive, and local repositories on six important dimensions. If you want to know which to pick: It depends!
