Erstmal ein bisschen was zu mir: Ich habe Deutsche Literatur des Mittelalters und Nordamerikanische Literatur an der Universität Hamburg studiert. Meine Dissertation schrieb ich über Riesen in der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters geschrieben und wurde 2020 #PhDone.
Meine Forschungsinteressen umfassen darüber hinaus Game Studies. Aber dazu später mehr in einem separaten Thread über Game Studies und das Mittelalter!
In Deutschland muss man ein zweites Buch schreiben oder eine Juniorprofessur bekommen, also arbeite ich gerade an meinem zweiten Buch (Habilitation) über Steine im Mittelalter.
1. Me and my research🧵
I studied German Medieval Literature and Northamerican Literature at the University of Hamburg. I wrote my dissertation about Giants in Medieval German Literature and got #PhDone in 2020.
Giants in Medieval Lit are not just big and powerful, but complex. Sometimes the definition of what a giant can be extends to human heros and vice versa.
🚨Paper out in Judgment and Decision Making journal: After the virtual flood! My latest #VirtualReality #EconTwitter experiment on #riskcommunication and the last one to be published from my thesis #PhDone sjdm.org/journal/20/200… summary🧵with GIFs and pictures👇 
MOTIVATION: people who experienced a disaster invest more in prevention (#DRR). But we don’t want to break dikes 😬What also helps are coping values: feeling of being able to install measures and the belief that they help. Idea: #VR experience to show risk and measures 2/9
METHOD: 108 people showed up for the VR experience + investment game + survey in the Amsterdam @networkinstvu lab. At the same time a control group of 276 Amsterdammers did the investment game + survey online. 4 weeks later VR group online follow-up (78 completed) 3/9
So excited that the paper that is the culmination of my #PhD came out in @ScienceTM today! As the COVER story! Can't wait to share this 6-yr labor of love with the world. Here are some of the main takeaways from the paper:

MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool but it is too expensive ($1.5M) and time-consuming (10-60min) to use on a regular basis. We developed a portable NMR sensor that can harness the diagnostic power of quantitative MRI at a fraction of the time (<1min) and cost ($1k).
It is not necessary to generate images in order to take quantitative magnetic resonance (relaxometry) measurements. Removing the need to generates images makes the hardware simpler, smaller, and cheaper.
