What happens when a neuroscientist realizes trauma rewired their own brain? ❤️‍🩹 I’ll be sharing that very personal story - the intersection of my research, insights it's brought me & the healing journey I've embarked on - LIVE & LIVESTREAMING on 1/26! Tickets 👇 www.storycollider.org/tickets/2026...

@caitvw.bsky.social telling a story of sophistication in this elegant ensemble 🤍 If you need any help telling your scientific story, check out her scicomm company, @stellatecomms.bsky.social! #FashionsOfACNP @acnporg.bsky.social

@madrelabutd.bsky.social owning the floor in this flamenco-adjacent ensemble💃🏻 If you’ve found her Experience and Resilience committee sessions rewarding, her lab can tell you what’s happening to your dopamine 💗🧠 #FashionsOfACNP #ACNP2026

Thank you to everyone that came out to our symposium earlier today @acnporg.bsky.social✨ Special shoutout to our panelists Victoria Arango, Dionna Williams, and David Jentsch for sharing your experiences overcoming distinct types of adversity. #ACNP2026

Next up in #FashionsOfACNP: Dr. Rene Hen sporting the perfect beach-to-bench outfit. Straight from the runways of Paris, equally comfortable whether you’re poolside or at a neurogenesis poster 🧠🇫🇷🥐 @acnporg.bsky.social

@deffinger.bsky.social at Lived Experience Panel @acnporg.bsky.social #ACNP2026: We should be going from consultation to co-production in the integration of lived experience in research 🧠🧪

Important message from Nev Jones to sr people in the field: Don’t treat young emerging researchers w/ lived experience as a checkbox. Asking them for a grant letter solely because of lived experience puts them in a difficult-to-impossible bind due to power dynamics @acnporg.bsky.social #ACNP2026

Ok seriously, if you’re not at the Lived Experience study group, you need to be. What an amazing panel-these researchers with lived experience have incredible insights to share about the benefits of integrating lived experience into research. Maya Schumer:it’s additive, not adversarial #ACNP2026

I got stuck in the elevator 😬😳 so now I’m speed walking to get to imperial ballroom B for the Centering Lived Experience study group! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ #ACNP2026 @acnporg.bsky.social @umarchatterjee.bsky.social @onemindorg.bsky.social leading this important effort 💗🧠

Ok this is so cool- Serena Gumuslogu shows placental EVs in mice can transfer to fetal brain, specifically microglia, to help program brain. And prenatal stress of the mom is sufficient to alter microglia gene expression in vitro model. Find out more poster TU193 🧪 @acnporg.bsky.social #ACNP2026
