Don't miss this new ✨ Research Highlight ✨ from @connorhaggarty.bsky.social 🤩 And be sure check out the original @npp-journal.bsky.social paper, exploring effects of DMT on connectome harmonics, subjective experience, & comparative psychedelic experiences www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I wrote a Research Highlight for @npp-journal.bsky.social - based on the recent work of Jakub Vohryzek - describing Connectome Harmonics and how they can help us to understand the psychedelic experience. #Psychedelics #Consciousness #Connectome Read it here www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thanks to @drjkhokhar.bsky.social & Cece Hillard for another fantastic Cannabinoid GRC! The #cannabinerd crew is unparalleled & I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to organize the 2029 meeting with @ryanmcpickle.bsky.social

Incredible time at the Cannabinoid GRC! @drjkhokhar.bsky.social & Cece Hilliard knocked it out of the park! It was an honor to be discussion lead for the GRS session on therapeutics. As always, proud of my friend/mentor @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social, chosen as 2029 chair w/ @ryanmcpickle.bsky.social

Are hallucinogenic effects critical to the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics? 🆕 Primer by Dr. Albert Garcia-Romeu @jhpsychedelics.bsky.social breaks down what's known about the role of therapy & subjective effects in driving psychedelics' putative efficacy www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Congratulations to this year's cohort of travel awardees. The committee had an incredibly hard job with over 100 applications! We look forward to seeing you all in Spain next month. Attendees, the data blitz highlighting the awardee's work is on Day 1 at 15:10. #EBPS2025

I'm very excited to be attending my first GRC this year, and focused on cannabinoids no less! I will be leading the discussion for the symposium exploring current cannabinoid therapies, at 9-11am on Sunday August 17th! #Cannabinerds

I was delighted to attend the #Festschrift for Harriet de Wit yesterday. Her speech resonated with me, as she stressed that a significant amount of the enjoyment and motivation in science comes from fostering community and connections (including her great bond with my partner).

I really loved writing an opening chapter here with @brainsbeesbikes.bsky.social exploring the history of cannabis use in research and recreation 🫰

Adolescent female rats are resistant to the affective and cognitive impacts of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol exposure despite long-lasting molecular and neuronal disturbances in the hippocampal-hypothalamic network link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Finally getting to post the thread on this, and excited to force you all to read some of the new work from our group on trying to understand if traumatic stress might impact reactivity to basic stimuli. Or, honestly, where we asked “what if we just flash a checkerboard at trauma survivors?” 1/🧵

Major update to #SCIMaP visualization of impacts of cuts to federally supported health research. Map now includes information on future economic losses (impact of proposed reduction of NIH IDC to 15%) and current economic losses (impact of terminated NIH grants). scienceimpacts.org

Our final parallel session starts with this symposium from @christinadalla.bsky.social explores sex differences in the risk, pathophysiology and treatment of various psychiatric conditions. #EBPS2025

🚨Special Issue🚨 @hannamolla.bsky.social and I are pleased to announce a special issue in @MDPIOpenAccess #BehavioralSciences exploring the influence of drugs on social behavior. Interested authors can contact me or Hanna directly, or find more information at: www.mdpi.com/journal/beha...

Honored to introduce my dear friend and mentor, Dr. Christine Rabinak at Michigan SfN’s keynote. Her talk was entitled “Fearless-ish”. She spoke with courage and clarity about trauma, PTSD, and facing a terminal cancer diagnosis—leading and inspiring every step of the way.

The undertaking of the century fresh off the press from my first postdoc in Sweden. Not what we hoped to find but that raises new questions on the topic of endocannabinoids and their relationship with PTSD #Cannabinerds

Very excited to be included in this symposium. I will be presenting data from our recently completed clinical trial exploring THC-assisted prolonged exposure therapy for the treatment of PTSD (from @brainsbeesbikes.bsky.social's lab) #Cannabinerd #EBPS2025

Parallel session 7 includes a symposium from Christelle Baunez exploring the importance of non-human primate models of addiction research #EBPS025

The deadline to submit abstracts and Travel Awards is fast approaching. You have until April 7th to submit. We have an incredible list of speakers and symposium that I will be sharing over the coming weeks and of course, it is in Almeria, Spain the perfect destination #EBPS2025

Epic few days visiting the parents on their layover. Niagara Falls are truly breathtaking

Onto the difficult task of parallel symposium sessions. We're going to be dropping the full list over the next few weeks so keep an eye out. It's a great time to start planning your schedule and seeing all of the great talks we have coming up at #EBPS2025 So lets go...

Despite cannabis policy having a direct effect on how the public interacts with #cannabis products, we have very little data on the public health implications of cannabis policies that have been instated over the past few decades. 🎧 Listen to the discussion 👇🏾
