Now @lenazohm.bsky.social shares her research on expert trespassing: people do - at least somewhat - recognize it when scientists transgress the boundaries of their expertise and this might lead to (small) losses of trust. #SciReLab

Kicking-off her PhD journey, @wagunyego.bsky.social talked about her initial findings capturing epistemic injustice and its relationship to trust in science. So many interesting avenues to go from here, more exciting stuff coming over the course of the next years of her dissertation. #SciReLab

This week I went to the #Zia-Kongress and got to meet many incredible #WomenInScience. The congress showed me again that there is still a lot to do to create a structure of equal opportunities for men and women in Science. Thanks to @zeitonline.bsky.social for this interesting event.
