This conforms to a well-established risk phenotype for alcohol use that's never been tested for opioids. BTW, this isn't the first time we've seen this. We also found responses to cannabinoid/opioid combos changed depending on opioid sensitivity. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 2/3

I am so excited to share our human lab study where 30% of healthy people given opioids had physiological, analgesic, and observable responses of which they were completely unaware per their self-report ratings. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/3

Can you believe #CBD enhanced the effects of #opioids on pain in a human lab design? These data show that combinations of CBD meaningfully changed hydromorphone's effects ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ Read more about this here: buff.ly/26P96l5

Sharing these incredible first-of-their-kind data on the pharmacokinetics of xylazine in persons with opioid exposure with my colleagues. Data show high variability in excretion patterns. Thank you Dr. Bird for your leadership and read more here-> buff.ly/4blf98m @kahlertumsom.bsky.social

So thrilled to have worked with my colleagues to publish this comprehensive paper outlining why #fentanyl is different than other opioids and how it can be treated. Thank you Dr. Suky Martinez for your leadership! buff.ly/4imnpHF

Today @cpddorg.bsky.social members met with congressional representatives to advocate for NIH funding, maintaining our negotiated indirect rates, and streamlining our science. You can advocate too- call your congresspeople and advocate for science! -> www.congress.gov/members/find...
February 19, 2025 at 2:46 AM
Inform your lawmakers that indirect costs are crucial support to science infrastructure and advocate they remain congressionally appropriated & at the negotiated rate. Find your representatives here: congress.gov/members/find-y…
February 15, 2025 at 1:42 AM
We need to advocate for our negotiated IDC rates! Several groups will be on the hill next week & YOU can advocate remotely as a private citizen by calling your congresspeople and informing them about IDCs and what NIH contributes to your state's economy: unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-st

Thrilled to see this paper published. These data provide strong evidence that physical dependence and withdrawal management is different in the era of illicit #fentanyl versus heroin. We need new strategies to help our patient. Read more about this here: https://buff.ly/4eZ8YqT
