As love is celebrated this week on #ValentinesDay, researchers at @umontana are exploring the age-old question of what creates romantic connections.

UM researchers are using speed dating events to collect data and learn how people connect.

“I think we as scientists embody something fundamentally, beautifully human … I still, idealistically and perhaps naively, believe in beauty because we, or some of us at least, experience it and are moved by it.” — Sliman Bensmaia, PhD, 1973-2023 https://t.co/aykDoe98Q6

I am so so SO excited to share the final version of my FIRST first author paper. My thesis work is exploring the relationship between PTSD and severe asthma, and this work sets the stage for the bulk of that.

New study by #UniKonstanz psychologist Stephanie Dimitroff @sjdimitroff examines our brain can assess the state of our own health more precisely than we think – and it is probably even able to correctly evaluate the state of our immune system. Details: https://t.co/1zlnaLNTo7

@kim_meidenbauer That’s amazing. Congratulations!! 🥳💪🏻

Check out @smith_ke's new awesome paper about parents' perceptions of stress 👨‍👩‍👧

[Karen Smith @smith_ke]

New paper out! We examined how loneliness, perceptions of control, and childhood trauma contribute to parents' perceptions of stress in two samples of parents. (1/n)

My favourite German saying is "Du bist doch nicht aus Zucker" Translation: You're not made a sugar - hence don't be scared of the rain.

I also love Dr. @Maria__Me__ 's research on sugar and stress reactivity!

Check her new video about her sugar research! 🍰

How? We may be able to sense our immune health through a number of pathways. While I cannot pinpoint the mechanism precisely from this study, the evidence does point to interoception of immune signals as a likely explanation. More research is needed! 6/

[Stephanie Dimitroff @sjdimitroff]

PS. As I posted last week, @JLasselin and Manfred Schedlowski wrote an excellent guest editorial on immune interoception that accompanies the paper: https://t.co/ZcdKtYqHtV
