I'm thrilled that our long-term, multi-disciplinary, multi-lab collaboration on empathy has finally come to fruition. A big kudos to team leaders Mark Davis and Sara Konrath for shepherding this project along as we try to chart a course for empathy research moving forward.

Finally the 1-year embargo period is over for green open-access 🥳🥳🥳 Consider uploading your old paper as green OA, too. It makes articles more accessible for scholars whose universities do not have the means to pay for all journals :) Most journals allow it either immediately, or after an embargo.

Über 10 Millionen Männer im Alter zwischen 17-45 sind über diese neue Regelung völlig uninformiert. Von der ausgebliebenen politischen Debatte darüber ganz zu schweigen. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob das schon ähnlich vor 2011 galt, denn jetzt ist es definitiv neu und keiner weiß davon.
