"War is peace... Freedom is slavery... Ignorance is strength"

Come see me at the French Society for Neuroscience #NeuroFrance2025 meeting today where I will present on our ongoing quest to find causal neural relationships between sleep, depression. Thanks to
@ibroorg.bsky.social for giving me this opportunity to connect with the French neuro community

I am happy to share that #IBRO @ibroorg.bsky.social will support my attendance at #NeuroFrance2025 in Montpellier, France, on 14-16 May! #IBROTravelGrantAwardee #TravelGrant #neuroscience

So I finally got my Society for Biological Psychiatry travel award 🎉 I remember the feeling I had when I got award email for 2024, a mix of happiness and "ugh, not another US visa app" feeling. Funny enough, I applied and it is still processing 14 months later 😴 luckily the #SOBP2025 was in Toronto

Today, I will be presenting twice at #SOBP2025
- A talk on our work using ML to uncover the mystery of why women with BD are more at risk of cardivascular disorders
- A poster later on why insomnia and depression happen together often (hint: 🧠🧠)
see you there

Had a quick transit in Morocco on my way back to Canada and the view of the strait of Gibraltar is breathtaking

Interesting measures being piloted at UK Biobank like olfactory tests as well as expanding sleep and brain measures #UKBSC24

So VSS released these FAQs about the potential new location for the annual meeting where they announce they are selecting between 3 US locations. In their considerations they do not have visa-friendliness then they also exclude Canada because "visa challenges"... like seriously?
