Welcome to the team, Britton🎉
#InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience I checked out this book so many times my parents gave me my own copy for Christmas… 20 years later, it was at my thesis defense and now in my postdoc office. Thankful for all of the supportive women in my life that have helped make this journey successful 🫶🏻🫶🏻

I was just watching this online last night (I was registered online) and it was such a good session. Anyone who hasn't watched it yet and had access to the recordings should make sure they watch it while they still have access (before Feb 16 )
Thanks to the speakers for sharing their experiences
Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research”

We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?

Diversity supplements weren’t just for folks from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds. Eligibility extended to first gen college students and researchers with disabilities, among others

Cancelling these supplements limits opportunities for the next generation of scientists, as explained here

Applications for our summer internship program are open. This is a paid, 9 week experience designed to provide research experience to undergraduates interested in the neurosciences, especially as related to the molecular and cellular basis of neuropsychiatric disorders

Few websites are as integral to my success as a scientist as the bookmarked website I use to tell me how old all my mice are

Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.

still talking about this study group - one for the books 📚 🫶🏻
What a powerful conversation about what it’s like to navigate life and a research career with lived experience of mental illness. I’m deeply grateful for the speakers being willing to share their experiences and how we can all be more supportive of our colleagues #ACNP206 @acnporg.bsky.social

Thinking about whether you should promote your next research paper on X, Bluesky, or *Reddit*?

Stop by @brittonrae.bsky.social’s poster #1 tonight at #ACNP2026 to learn about how these 3 platforms differ in terms of engagement and online attention driven by posts about DPN articles.

I'm excited to share that this week I transitioned to a new role at the Usona Institute, where I'll be supporting their clinical trial program evaluating psilocybin for treatment of MDD. Looking forward to this next chapter and being back in Madison, Wisconsin!
