Happy Earth Day! 🌎 Looking forward to a morning of exciting, innovative, and important research in environmental children’s health! #EarthDay #EnvironmentalHealth #Pediatrics

Another great #SfNHillDay in the books!

Thank you @slotkin.senate.gov , @peters.senate.gov , and @debbiedingell.house.gov —and their staff—for your strong support of steady, predictable, and robust funding for #neuroscience research.

I'm trying to get together my NIH Biosketch on the new common form using #SciENcv. My bibliography is not populating at all, even though I am logged into ALL THE THINGS (ORCID, era commons, NCLB, etc). Helppppp #Academia #grants #biosketch

Curious how environmental exposures affect fear extinction recall and adolescent brain function?

Join me at poster W22 during tonight’s poster session! #ACNP2026 #EnvironmentalHealth #AirPollution #Adolescence

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Fantastic @IOGWSU seminar this morning from Dr. Ángeles Tepper on the importance of Science Communication and how scientists can get involved! #Neuro #postdoc #scicomm

✨ Just hit submit on my first tenure-track application this cycle! Feeling excited to officially be on the market!

My work sits at the intersection of psychiatry, environmental health 🌍, and neuroscience 🧠.

If you know of open positions, I’d love to connect! #Neuro #Academia

Last day of #ISESISEE2025! Make sure to stop by the last poster session at 3:30! Come discuss my prelim data from my ongoing pilot study examining #ClimateChange anxiety in Detroit emerging adults! #neuro #environmentalhealth #postdoc

Wonderful and inspiring opening remarks from Dr. C. Arden Pope III! Although many things are uncertain right now, we keep moving and keep doing the BEST science we can. #ISESISEE2025 #AirPollution #EnvironmentalHealth

Thrilled to be in Atlanta for #ISESISEE2025 conference! Looking forward to sharing ideas and learning from colleagues across environmental health and exposure science! #EnvironmentalHealth #postdoc #neuro

Thrilled to be selected for an #ACNP2025 Travel Award! Excited for my first ACNP and to connect with so many incredible scientists! 🧠✨ #neuro #postdoc #science

Omg the first season and this one!! Absolutely horrifying

✈️ Last week I traveled to Washington, DC to advocate for #ScienceFunding with an incredible group of early career scientists from Wayne State and Sci-pol Detroit. Uncertainty in funding affects people, progress, and public health. We showed up to make that clear. 💪🏻👩🏻‍🔬 🧠 #ScienceAdvocacy

Circulating endocannabinoids in children and adolescents: associations with anxiety and the impact of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors - Neuropsychopharmacology Neuropsychopharmacology - Circulating endocannabinoids in children and adolescents: associations with anxiety and the impact of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

🚨 New paper in @npp-journal.bsky.social! We combined data from 3 studies (including an SSRI RCT) to explore how endocannabinoids relate to anxiety & treatment response in kids + teens. Team science w/ Jeanne Barcelona, Jeffrey Strawn & more!

Neuroinflammation across neurological diseases The brain’s response to injury includes the activation of intrinsic microglia and the influx of leukocytes, collectively constituting neuroinflammation, the “flame” of the brain. Although details diff...

Inflammation in the brain can be beneficial or pathogenic. It varies across neurological diseases. And many new ways are emerging to modulate it

Detroit is experiencing some awful air quality this week, thanks to the Canadian wildfires. Ever wonder what those particles (PM2.5) that I study look like? This is it!! Stay indoors folks! #AirPollution #wildfires #Detroit #EnvironmentalHealth

Why is it that in #academia we constantly feel like we’re falling behind? I opened my RPPR convinced I was off track—turns out I’m exactly where I should be. Taking this small win and celebrating it. #postdoc #neuro #SmallWins

Longitudinal associations between greenspace exposure, structural brain development, and mental health and academic performance during early adolescence Greenspace exposure is associated with positive mental health and academic outcomes. This preregistered longitudinal study examines whether the influence of greenspace exposure on structural brain dev...

🌳🧠 Nature shapes the mind

A study of 7,100+ US adolescents found that living near greenspace was linked to slower brain thinning, greater surface area, & better mental health outcomes – via changes in brain structure.

Exclusive: US veterans agency orders scientists not to publish in journals without clearance Move that seeks political control of doctors’ and scientists’ published research fits a pattern of censorship by the Trump administration, veterans advocates say

I studied Gulf War vets’ health in grad school. The PACT Act was meant to expand care + research on toxic exposures. Now the VA is slashing positions and censoring doctors from publishing findings.

This is dangerous.

Poor air quality from pollution is a HUGE concern linked to deaths, shortened life expectancy and conditions including asthma, COPD, cancer and cardiovascular disease likely in large part to impacts on immune function. Its vital we monitor air quality so we can understand mechanisms & impacts 🧪🧵

A majority of registered voters want federal agencies to increase their efforts to protect people from the health harms of global warming - Center for Climate Change Communication Many Americans understand that climate change harms health, and an increasing percentage believe climate-related health harms will become more common in their community over the next 10 years. Federal...

Trump and Musk have eliminated virtually every federal program intended to protect our health from the ravages of climate change, yet our poll last December found that most voters want the government to do MORE, not less.
