Congratulations to our colleague @epronizius.bsky.social and our PI @clauslamm.bsky.social for being short-listed for the teaching award of our faculty 🏅 And obviously to the other recipients as well. Happy to have so many great lecturers among us 🤓

How will three groups of psychologists perform in an escape room? By assessing each other's arousal or debating whether frustration is a state or a trait? We recently conducted this bold introspective case study. Preliminary results suggest all groups did great. Thanks to everyone who joined 🤓

Here's our résumé of the ÖGP-Tagung in Salzburg last week: - 4 great talks 🤓 - 3 beautiful posters 🖼️ - First place at the poster award - congrats @lauragschw.bsky.social 🥳🥇 - Met many amazing people 🤝 - Gorgeous snowy mountain peaks 🏔️ - Left mountain hikes for next time tho 🥾

Never easy to say g'bye to the "veterans" 🥲 One of our most loyal and awesome lab members @markusruetgen.bsky.social sails to new shores (as psychotherapist). Good luck Markus, thanks for everything, "you'll never walk alone" 🍀🫶

Another year, another ice-skating event for our lab ⛸️ Thanks to our colleague Ece Kurnaz for organizing ❤️

We finally tackled our lab cleanup - turns out 15+ years of research leave a trail: - Folders of printed papers 🗞️ - Old study materials & consent forms 📁 - Cables, phones, and chunky monitors 🖥️ - Lots of dust 🧼 Thanks to our team for the joint effort - we promise to keep it tidier now 🤞

Another amazing year at the SCAN unit with: 30+ papers🗞️ Many new faces 🤓 Long train rides 🚂 Rejections, resubmissions 📝 Tomatoes 🍅 A lot of science 🧠 And even more teamwork and shared moments 🫶 Thanks 2025 - looking forward to 2026 ✨

Last weekend’s lab hike came with maximum fog and minimum views of Vienna 😶‍🌫️. The company more than made up for it though 🫶

In SCAN-Unit, wir untersuchen die neuronalen Grundlagen von Empathie, Altruismus, und umweltbewusstem Verhalten. Unser Ziel ist, diese Phänomene besser zu verstehen, um sie damit gesellschaftlich breit und besser fördern zu können. 1/2 #IchForscheGernInWien #TopForschungWien #Wien

We realized we took no group pictures last year 🫣… So at the first lab outing of the year we took a dozen! 😁⛸️❄️ Special thanks for our @biancaaschuster.bsky.social for organizing 🤍

We are a bit late for this, but happy new year from the SCAN unit! 🎈 We are thankful for the productive and joyful times together and looking forward to another year of exciting research! 🤩 Here is our 2024 in review 👇

Huge congratulations to Julia Braunstein and Luise Greichen for being awarded the Marietta-Blau Grant 👏🏼 Proud of you!

Our lab head @clauslamm.bsky.social gave a keynote "public outreach" within the prestigious Wiener Vorlesungen format, about Empathy in Humans, Animals, and Machines. Packed room, lively discussion, and a lot of nice feedback. Watch it (in German 🙃) here: youtu.be/JmlYcLU8lFY
