Had inspiring days at #ISPNE2026, with many exciting talks and discussions! ✨ As part of a symposium organized by Jennifer Gordan and Hannah Klusmann, I had the chance to share a first glimpse of our meta-analysis findings on cortisol (re)activity in premenstrual disorders – stay tuned! :)

Very happy to share that the protocol paper for my ISSAC Study is out today! 🎉 I started planning ISSAC about four years ago, so it feels special to finally share a first part of the project. Data collection is almost done! Results will still take a while, but stay tuned – there’s more to come 👀

If you’ve ever attempted a meta-analysis, you’ll know that authors generally do a poor job reporting statistics. If you do this well, you’ll improve your chances of your work being included in a future meta-analysis.
