A Leiden University Fund (LUF) travel grant enabled Julia to establish another collaboration by joining Prof dr. Winkielman%u2019s Social Cognition lab at UCSD (San Diego) for a summer research stay in 2022. During her time abroad, she could apply her interest in embodied emotions to a new field, namely politics. In the scope of her PhD research, Julia engaged in various teaching activities. In addition to the supervision of Bachelor and Master thesis projects as well as internships, Julia gave lectures in courses, workgroups and in workshops on topics such as experimental methods, social cognition in psychopathology and emotion research. Following her passion to discuss research with peers, Julia not only attended various conferences and summer schools but also resumed organizing events, which she already engaged in during her Bachelor and Master studies (e.g., the Heidelberger symposium in 2014 and various TedxTUM events). Together with her PhD colleague Chris Riddell, Julia organized a symposium on (embodied) emotions and social connectedness across disciplines at the conference of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology in 2023. Moreover, Chris and Julia applied for funding to organize a mini-conference on positive and negative consequences of interpersonal alignment, the %u201cCo-Align 2023%u201d, which was awarded a LUF conference grant. Next to sharing her findings with other scientists, Julia wrote several popular science blogs for the Leiden Psychology Blog to make her PhD research accessible to the general public. In 2024, Julia started a position as Postdoc in the Developmental Psychopathology group at the University of Amsterdam. Here, she is studying how mothers attune to their infants to help them regulate their emotions, and how this relates to the infants%u2019 ability to regulate themselves.
