@lcornelas.bsky.social crushing her talk at the 25th National Science Network on Drug Abuse conference at @universityofmiami.bsky.social! Incredible and important work on #GABA, #endocannabinoids, traumatic #stress, and #alcohol use in animal models.

Got licensed in the state of New Mexico this week! Now licensed both here and in Colorado as a #clinical #psychologist. Should probably do #PSYPACT next. Anyone gone through that process?

My partner Stephanie and I had a fantastic time at our 1st Balloon Fiesta! Woke up at 3:15 am to catch Dawn Patrol and Mass Ascension! Even got to witness @unm.edu Psych faculty @lcornelas.bsky.social & @katiew.bsky.social and the rest of the Besos Amigos team launch Amore!

My cup is full from another @istss.bsky.social conference in the books! Always amazing to see so many friends and colleagues that I normally only see on a computer screen, as well as 2 of my UCCS grad students! Wish I had gotten more pictures, but these are some of my favorite ones.

Really enjoyed helping table for the @casaa.bsky.social at #ABQ Celebrates #Recovery Day! We talked to a lot of folx that stopped by & gave away all of our swag! Big shoutout to @matwmccool.bsky.social for helping organize the whole event! And kudos to the whole CASAA team that helped volunteer!

Big shoutout to @brigittabeck.bsky.social, who successfully defended her thesis last week! She put together an excellent study focused on IPV-related #TBI and #health #risk #behaviors among #community #women. She’s also the first grad student thesis I’ve chaired from start to finish. Cheers, Britta!

This whole executive order is so awful with open efforts to institutionalize houseless folx. And this blatant effort to kill SAMHSA funding for harm reduction prevention and intervention efforts in it is also infuriating.

Harm reduction saves lives, and it’s evidence-based. Period. Full stop.

Today was my last day at UCCS! Going to miss this view, this lab space, & my “Hills of Ireland” wall. The last 4 years have been formative in the early stages of my #academic career. I’ll miss my colleagues & students still there, but happy I get to still work with them from ABQ! Onward and upward!

Had a great time at @cpddorg.bsky.social in New Orleans! Definitely will be back. Also, I’m going to put this picture in my next #discounting talk. 😆

Took our kids to their first protest today in Golden, CO. Loved seeing folx reclaiming the American flag, trying to make it a symbol of patriotism in the fight against tyranny. Rather than how this administration has adopted it to symbolize hate. Power to the people!

Very proud of my @mpwrlab.bsky.social students that won UCCS awards tonight for Outstanding Undergrad Student (Makenzie Baca), Outstanding PhD Student (@brigittabeck.bsky.social), & the Lee Becker Award (stats skills; Ellie McLane)! Big kudos to them and validation for all their hard work!

Yesterday, 3 of my MA students and 1 of my PhD students @brigittabeck.bsky.social gave an amazing symposium at #RMPA2025 in Denver! Had a packed room too!

Then, my 2 Senior Honors Thesis students presented posters on their preliminary results at their first conference!

Proud mentor over here. 😄

As always, had the best time presenting & connecting at #CPA2025! I’m very fortunate to work with amazing colleagues and PhD students. Also, now more than ever in my career, it felt esp. important to promote
#addictionscience! See you all next year!

Very fun & productive day with @mpwrlab.bsky.social collaborating with the STRESS Lab at URI. We split into 2 groups and wrote 2 Papers in 1 Day! Nice pre-conference activity in downtown Providence w/stellar doc students. Big thanks to @nicoleweiss.bsky.social and her team for organizing & hosting!

Some much needed music therapy in Fort Collins last night. Got to see my favorite band, Railroad Earth! They played a lot of deep cuts. Was a nice mindfulness exercise to bring some light in this darkness.

Cool cool, so due to Trump’s EO, #NSF is combing through proposals to look for this list of banned words. As a #trauma
& #women #researcher, looks like I won’t be working w/them for the time being. But I will never stop doing this work.

Hard to beat that view from a hot air balloon! Here’s one though from this past summer outside Idaho Springs, CO. Hiked to the top of this summit with my brother and nephew. Could see in all directions for miles.
