Congratulations to Dr. Sunny Tang Stern a new Associate Member of ACNP! Welcome!! 👏Sunny X. Tang, M.D.

The Future of Sex as a Biological Variable in Health Research An executive order upended an NIH policy requiring researchers to account for both sexes in preclinical animal studies.

I get asked pretty regularly when traveling to give talks where I think we are with SABV. As a policy it seems to be safe for now, but the scrubbing of NIH websites mostly remains, and scientists have fewer resources to help them navigate their own experimental decisions. undark.org/2026/03/30/s...

🧠🧬🧪📈🔬🧫 Science friends:

If you have *any* ability to accept student researchers in your lab this summer, please do. 🙏

Opportunities are desperately sparse. I just received 173 applications for an unpaid summer internship.

I'm worried we're going to lose a generation of young scientists. 💔

Can large language models help the mental healthcare system keep up with growing demand? YouTube video by NPP - Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience (DPN)

Can LLMs help the mental healthcare system keep up with growing demand?

This Deep Dive explores whether a RoBERTa LLM can detect anxiety or depression in text, showing accuracy similar to human experts & paving the way for more accessible mental health evaluation.
