Alëna Balasanova @DrPsychMD is "above the fold" in the Omaha World-Herald...right across from the President. Way to go!😀

When I was an undergrad I thought that success in science would be when your work was cited in textbooks (that was late 1980's, before mainstream internet). Perhaps getting a text from my daughter that her friend saw my name while reading an article online is the modern version?

Are you looking for a post-doctoral fellowship in clinical research, anxiety, neuroimaging? Consider joining my new lab at the Munroe-Meyer Institute where I will be the new Director of Research. See details below.
