Woohoo! Reading the new Dutch government’s coalition agreement, I’m excited to see stronger focus on #prevention, #mental health, and a solid #social foundation for young people: https://www.kabinetsformatie2025.nl/documenten/2026/01/30/aan-de-slag---coalitieakkoord-2026-2030

It connects directly to my research on daily resilience: how well you bounce back from everyday stress is linked to how you feel that day, the next day, and even to fewer depressive symptoms and better functioning months (!) later.

So… let’s get to work on resilience. Sounds like a plan to me 😊

Super nice to give a talk at Augeo about youth resilience as not only “coping with adversity,” but also anticipation and savoring of positive events ✨

Does anyone know of literature on any differences in anticipation or savoring of positive events in adult life after childhood trauma (eg maltreatment or loss of a loved one)?

And what’s a good name for the initial uplift + “recovery” after positive events? Prosilience? (Open for better suggestions 😆) #resilience #youthmentalhealth

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of debating Open Science with Mira Buist-Zhuk and Danila Otavin - exploring the provocative question of whether radical openness could one day make universities obsolete.

Many thanks to @SGGroningen, host Valeria Cernei, our “opposition” @doughnutspasian, @MobileMaggie, and Carlijn Kammenga, and everyone who joined us.And of course to Mira and Danila - a joy to do this together!
