I had the pleasure of writing a chapter with @KuehnSim, @SSudimac, and Moana Beyer on how using MRI helps to understand the link between the environment and the human brain. This would have been hugely helpful at the start of my PhD in environmental neuroscience. Check it out ๐Ÿ‘‡

Another book chapter by our @_maxsteininger together with @KuehnSim, @SSudimac and Moana Beyer exploring how MRI studies can help us to investigate the relationship between the human brain and several environmental factors ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿง  Check it out โฌ‡๏ธ link.springer.com/chapter/10โ€ฆ

Very excited to give a talk about this project on individual and nation-level predictors of climate-relevant beliefs and behaviors at #DGPs2024 ๐Ÿคฉ Join me on Monday (16.09) at 16:30 at Seminarraum 1 ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿผ
๐ŸŒ Thrilled to share our new preprint and the first part of my thesis! Using machine learning, we analyzed data from 55 countries to uncover key individual and nation-level predictors of climate change beliefs & behaviors. Let's dive in! ๐Ÿงต 1/12
