Greetings from #SAA2026 in Vienna, where our PhD students @joannahunsmann.bsky.social and @sabrinabenz.bsky.social presented their work on repetitive negative thinking and dynamic indicators of resilience in daily life this week. Always a pleasure to catch up with the inspiring SAA community! 💫

On my way to the #dpk2026 - a bit later than the rest of the crowd. This morning, I already listened to the excellent keynote by Bram Vervliet about Experimental Psychopathology Research while drinking coffee in my office in Munich. Now looking forward to meeting many colleagues live in Berlin.
