Background

About Natalie Schroyens

I am a research chameleon, with experience in Psychology, Biomedical Sciences, Science communication, and Meta-Science. After completing my PhD in Psychology, I worked at the Centre for Evidence-Based Practice, where I deepened my commitment to rigorous research methodologies and made the bridge between science and practice. With a keen interest in research methodology and a commitment to precision, I am dedicated to guiding research projects concerning meta-science and societal issues.During the past 8 years as a researcher, I have delved into various research topics in 7 universities across 5 different countries, illustrating my eagerness to learn and ability to adapt. I've discovered that transitioning between fields allows me to offer unique insights and approach challenges from fresh perspectives, thereby bringing a distinctive angle to every project I collaborate on- Experimental research: lab studies, intervention studies, survey experiments- Observational research: questionnaires- Advanced statistical analysis:(hierarchical) linear regression, meta-analysis, Bayesian analysis- R programming: RStudio, R Markdown- Meta-research: Open Science, publication bias, replication crisis, role of theory- Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology- Scientific writing: research papers, study protocols, preregistration, analysis reports, newsletters, social media, systematic reviews, scoping reviews- Evidence synthesis: systematic literature reviews, evidence-based recommendations, appraising study quality, detecting possible sources of bias in scientific research- Research abroad: Maastricht, Amsterdam (The Netherlands); Cambridge (UK); Córdoba (Argentina); Copenhagen (Denmark)- Teaching: Evidence in Clinical Practice, Descriptive and Inferential Statistics, Scientific Writing, Psychology of Learning, supervising 4 master thesis studentsContact: natalie.schroyens@gmail.com
