DYK that heart rate increases by 3 beats per minute & HRV is lower in the luteal phase. These could affect emotional regulation with hormonal transitions. ER & PR are in heart as well as brain! #OSSD2026 premeeting. @jellinap.bsky.social

Last day of #ACNP2026 and it is raining, so the beach is not an option ☔️🏖️ Instead, get yourself a tropical drink (I can help with that -leftover drink tickets from folks who already left 😄🍹) and come by poster TH187 for a chat on brain-heart dynamics + menstrual cycle @acnporg.bsky.social

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience.
No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent.
And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.
... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

Absolutely loving the cover art of the new Science Advances issue, featuring their SI on “Advancing the Science of Women’s Health” that highlights the growing wave of research dedicated to understanding women’s unique biological and psychological experiences www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!!

My first post here marks my final day (for now) at KU Leuven and the @neuromodlab_KUL 👋 It's been an incredible journey since I took my first steps into research in 2015, filled with much learning, growth, and unforgettable experiences 🎓 See you soon!
