Thank you so much for reading this everyone! I found (more than one) sponsor 😭 Hope to see some of you in San Diego this November!

About me:

I’m a PhD candidate studying the neural network dynamics underlying attentional control and the intersection with adolescent and young adult substance use / mental health.

Excited to connect over some fresh perspectives at SfN this year!

in return: eternal gratitude, boundless enthusiasm about attentional control and brain networks, and/or questionable snacks

DMs open, fairy god-neuroscientists 🪄 Would love to connect by Wednesday!

Hi Bluesky!

Going to my first-ever #SfN2025 this year (!!) and - in true grad student fashion - making a last-minute call for a kind, benevolent sponsor to help me register 🧠✨

If you’re a postdoc or PI and an active SfN member, I’d be so grateful for the help!

TL;DR Teens with depression living in states that require parent consent for mental health treatment may be less likely to access care 🧵

Would love to be added! Thanks for putting this together :D
