My feedback to flux.

I'm not interested in anonymity. And this is my feedback to all institutions, all international conferences, and universities.

Thrilled to receive a @srcdorg.bsky.social Small Grant for Early Career Scholars! This funding will support my research on how hormonal contraceptive use may affect brain development and mood during adolescence.

Check out the paper for additional findings, including results in males! This was such a fun collaborative project with @divyangana.bsky.social @phoebethomson.bsky.social @cktamnes.bsky.social and Tilmann von Soest 🌟

We found that youth with greater exposure to trauma were
at an increased risk for internalising symptoms at ages 12–14 years, and this association was mediated by a higher
