📣 📣 I am beyond excited to announce I will be joining the Yale Dept. of Psychology as an Assistant Professor in July 2027! Deepest gratitude to my colleagues and mentors, without whom this would not have been possible. More to come—I'll be recruiting students and hiring staff this coming year!

🚨Preprint Alert 🧠 Our new preprint „Menarche onset is an inflection point for mental health and brain development“ is now online! 👉 Preprint available here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Transdiagnostic latent factor models of psychopathology are widely assumed to improve brain-behaviour associations. So we decided to test this directly and found that they don't. A short 🧵 Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 1/10

Hormonal milieu influences whole-brain structural dynamics across the menstrual cycle using dense sampling in multiple individuals @carinaheller.bsky.social, @uni-jena.de, @umn-midb.bsky.social, @icsantabarbara.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌊 Carina Heller & co explored brain volume changes across typical and atypical menstrual cycles. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. 👇🏼

Thrilled to share that I have been awarded a @bbrfoundation.bsky.social Young Investigator Grant!

🧠 Modulating salience network connectivity through olfactory nerve stimulation. Now out in Translational Psychiatry! 👉 Check out the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Stay tuned for the irregular cycles movement!!!

The beginning of the irregular cycles movement!! Get round it!☺️🧠💪🏼

We wrote a piece for @naturemedicine.bsky.social 🧠 Menstrual cycle irregularities can be both cause and consequence of wide-ranging health issues. Embracing this complexity could reveal novel brain–body interactions and advance neuroscience. Check out our commentary www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present our research on the impact of hormonal contraceptives intake on brain structure in an adolescent sample 🫶

To better understand how oral contraceptives affect the brain, neuroscientist Carina Heller volunteered herself as a subject. She plans to make her data—from her many brain scans, blood tests and more—openly available. www.thetransmitter.org/brain-imagin... #neuroskyence #neuroscience
