My brother is a seriously awesome person!

I'll be talking tomorrow @ the Sage Art Center about bird-window collisions. I'll share our data & argue for artists as animal advocates. After, I'll meet w/ students in Mizin Shin's printmaking course 2 discuss how 2 design bird-safe window decals, their final project. We'll start @ 5. Come on by!

Let’s unpack the stack: some texts from the first half of my course The Animal City. We ferret out historical patterns in urban human-animal relationships: e.g. enclosure, nuisance, &c. It is US-focused (their projects are based in Rochester), but later units hound interspecies encounters elsewhere.

Don't do your postdoc in Europe, you'll lower your chances of getting a PI position in the U.S.--multiple PIs said this to me

Had a great time catching up with colleagues at ACNP this past week. It’s amazing that for years I had the only presentation on psychedelics, seen mostly as a curiosity, and now there were 3 symposiums and more than 20 posters! Psychedelics are here to stay!

Celebrating our successful #acnp2024 panel with @mariadiehl.bsky.social and @the-fadoktor.bsky.social ! I couldn’t be happier with how everyone infused such rigorous science with creativity, humility, and humor. Amazing way to close out the meeting!

Becca is correct, this panel is 🔥🔥🔥 #ACNP

Dr. Becca @docbecca.bsky.social · Dec 7

I really really really hope no one is leaving #ACNP2024 early because my panel with co-chair Maria Diehl - "The new Faces of Fear: Cortical and Subcortical Orchestration of Freezing, Flight, Avoidance, and Escape" is Wednesday afternoon and the lineup is 🔥🔥🔥

Schedule for a panel at the ACNP meeting, chaired by Maria Diehl and yours truly. Lineup includes Jonathan Fadok, Maria Diehl, Avishek Adhikari, and Rebecca Shansky. 3-5pm on Wednesday, be there or be square!

Ok, fine.

Jonathan Fadok @the-fadoktor.bsky.social · Dec 7

Hi #ACNP! My lab studies the neural circuits controlling defensive actions. We're also interested in understanding what mediates hyperarousal after a traumatic experience. Come check out our panel on Wednesday afternoon. The New Faces of Fear. Looking forward to a great meeting!

Jonathan Fadok @the-fadoktor.bsky.social · Dec 7

I might show up. 😜
