My wonderful team and I had a great time at this year’s @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social retreat in Meschede! It was inspiring to meet old and new friends, get fresh input, and enjoy the uniquely warm and collaborative atmosphere. Very happy to be part of this 🧠πŸ₯ΎπŸ·πŸ’‘
How much do treatment expectations matter in depression? Our new paper underscores the translational value of experimental placebo models for understanding and predicting real-world expectation effects. Part of our work in @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social Read more: rdcu.be/fiAkd

New day, new talks at our CRC retreat! @ploner.bsky.social is starting with a talk about #openscience practices! 😁 How can we be more transparent and reproducible throughout the whole research process? And what lessons has he learned along the way? πŸ€”

After all this science, it was time for a hike with some team-building exercises! πŸ’ͺ
Last up is @christianbuchel.bsky.social telling us about all things wrong with our current publishing system and how new models (for example @elife.bsky.social) are trying to break these barriers! πŸ’ͺ Of course featuring this gem of a video by @glaucomflecken.bsky.social: youtu.be/ukAkG6c_N4M?...
Amazing new work from project A06 led by Eun Jin Shim and @stefaniebrassen.bsky.social! 🀩 This study examined whether positive expectations improve outcomes in depressed patients and whether individual placebo responsiveness predicts treatment success πŸ’Š Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our CRC retreat in beautiful Meschede this year starts with just the early career researchers 🀩 This morning, after some speed dating to get to know other ECRs from the different projects, we hosted 4 roundtables on science communication, mentoring, funding opportunities and lab rotations.
Last but not least: @helenahartmann.com shared updates from the CRC's #scicomm project 🀩
