Extremely grateful for the opportunity to attend the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego last week. I had the chance to serve on an amazing panel at this year’s ENDURE meeting alongside incredible neuroscientists, and I also presented a poster on our MDMA-assisted therapy work.

going to @sfn.org and want to learn about an active placebo for mdma-assisted therapy RCTs? 🧪
stop by our poster on Tuesday :)

And that's a wrap! I had a ton of fun at the inaugural New England Addiction Neuroscience Research Conference Friday and am looking forward to seeing everyone next year, if not sooner! newenglandaddictionconsortium.wordpress.com/annual-confe...

super proud of my undergrad, Leeah Han, for presenting her project on metabolic hormones as predictors of AUD severity at the Brown Summer Research Symposium today :)

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

would any faculty be interested in collaborating on this for SfN 2025 in san diego? submission deadline is Jan 22nd!
how hard would it be to organize a workshop at SfN on translating science to spanish-speaking audiences? feels like it'd be a good opportunity for US-based scientists to learn from international researchers, to better target our local spanish-speaking communities

joined an incredible group of neuroscientists (my amazing friends) at the annual Hunter/NYU ENDURE Alumni Panel—grateful to be part of such an inspiring community. :)

Remember folks that we need to return to the old habit of reposting (retweeting) people's posts instead of liking them to allow the folks we think are cool to build their following. Let's continue to build one another's visibility as a community should.

Is there a neuro starter pack? I feel so old cuz when I first heard "starter pack" I squinted my eyes and thought...tf is that?
But if someone made a Neuro starter pack I'd love to see it. Maybe I'm already a part of one! Who knows!!! *Maniacal laughter*
