This is a fantastic program and a great opportunity 👇👇👇👇👇

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

@deffinger.bsky.social and @melissaherman.bsky.social argue that, though many human psychedelic clinical trials are underway, preclinical studies remain our best bet to answer fundamental questions about the neurobiology of psychedelics.

So excited for this piece by me and @deffinger.bsky.social to be out! It was inspired by science and discussion from many venues from @sfn.org to #GRCPsychedelics 🧠

Nothing has disappointed me more than watching institutions cave to ending programs they KNOW have an impact and bring in talented and qualified scientists from different backgrounds. Someday we will have to face what was done here and what we lost.

I would not be here without the programs (like PREP) and the mentors that cheered for me and helped me to understand the climate. Yes, I was smart, but when you come from places with almost no exposure to STEM careers, that’s just not enough.

We are in this odd climate where people are pretending no barriers exist to careers in science for some groups, but this conversation with 2 outstanding emerging scientists highlights that is just not true.

Interested in bridging the translatability gap between mice and humans, specifically with regard to psychedelics? Have I got an opportunity for you! Join us for an interactive and stimulating pre-meeting before #SfN2025. @theborislab.bsky.social @bita37.bsky.social @fredbarrettphd.bsky.social

The daughter of an English professor and a teacher, Ms. Vincent received a master’s in public health while battling addiction. That year she helped start the North Carolina Survivors Union, among the first organizations in the country to offer safety rails for addicts who were struggling to quit.

Don't make me tap the sign

Large language models are slot machines that pay out in confidence, not information

If the information is bad (it often is) no one cares

But if the confidence was bad no one would use it 🤔

Luckily for the compulsive use companies want to promote, it's always confident

Science is still suffering from the current chaos, but in tough times community matters even more. Had a blast at the @bcas-outreach.bsky.social retreat today. Super proud of lab members Sarah Mott and Mia Keller who crushed their posters/talk 🧠✨🧠✨

Got my gorgeous #GRCPsychedelics soap today! Thank you @cllantz.bsky.social for this visual treat and scented stunner ✨✨✨

Nice paper from @superkash.bsky.social and team in @npp-journal.bsky.social comparing the contribution of CRF and GABA release from the same BNST neurons to ethanol self-administration. Tom you know I am obsessed with co-transmitter release this is really elegant work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
