If you are interested in co-exposure models of #FASD investigating maternal alcohol exposure combined with
1) paternal alcohol exposure
2) simultaneous maternal cannabinoid exposure
Then I have TWO new manuscripts to share with you! 🧵

One of my favorite sessions of the conference. This conversation is critical for all researchers, and the Wellcome Initiative is VERY appropriately named!
Hope all can come to Imperial Ballroom B so you can learn how to unlock clinical mechanisms thru the us of animal models starting in 5!

This was such a powerful session. While our journeys through research feel so individual, the ability to hear about one another's resilience is not only empowering, it's essential to create a community with sustained investment from scientists.

What a powerful conversation about what it’s like to navigate life and a research career with lived experience of mental illness. I’m deeply grateful for the speakers being willing to share their experiences and how we can all be more supportive of our colleagues #ACNP206 @acnporg.bsky.social
If you're attending #ACNP2026 and would like to learn more & discuss this important topic with the authors, come to this study group👇👇 on Tues morning (1/13) at 9 AM!
See you there 😄

The world is a really shitty place, but people are standing up for our communities and putting our money into good efforts where we can. A group of women in neuro I am friends with decided to give back this holiday season. Together we donated $3200. Small efforts add up!!

The Trump administration has implemented policy changes at both the NIH and NSF that will reduce long term investments across the disciplines of scientific research. The result has been fewer grants and shortened grant duration.

A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

This is an important and information rich article. I wondered about the effects by Institute. The table below (which is snipped here but is in the article) has that info. Broken down by # of grants and $ amounts.

A commonly held belief is that the brain keeps maturing until age 25 and then stops, meaning that we should limit substance use until this timepoint. A new AJDAA paper dispels that myth and provides implications for #Cannabis use policy. Read it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My dog was resting next to me in a fidgety sleep. Suddenly her head bolted up and she glowered at me.
I think I did something in her dreams and now she's mad about it.
