- Reposted by Siara RouzerSecond R01 for the lab submitted despite it all. Levi is taking all the credit for it (co-I of course). Anyway continue calling your senators and reps. ICE has not left and we are still under a paramilitary occupation. My students are not safe and shouldn’t have to feel this way.

- One of my favorite sessions of the conference. This conversation is critical for all researchers, and the Wellcome Initiative is VERY appropriately named!
- #ACNP ❤️ Cannabinoid Researchers! @acnporg.bsky.social
- This was such a powerful session. While our journeys through research feel so individual, the ability to hear about one another's resilience is not only empowering, it's essential to create a community with sustained investment from scientists.
- At the @acnporg.bsky.social #ACNP2026 Experience and Resilience Committee session describing how to build a Resilience Toolkit! In these times of trouble, we all need it! #Resilience
- Thank you so much to Dionna Williams, Victoria Arango, and a scientist I deeply admire, David Jentsch, for sharing with the audience and demonstrating strength through vulnerability. And thank you to the chairs and E&R committee at @acnporg.bsky.social for fostering this exchange of perspectives.
- Reposted by Siara RouzerWhat a powerful conversation about what it’s like to navigate life and a research career with lived experience of mental illness. I’m deeply grateful for the speakers being willing to share their experiences and how we can all be more supportive of our colleagues #ACNP206 @acnporg.bsky.social
- If you're attending #ACNP2026 and would like to learn more & discuss this important topic with the authors, come to this study group👇👇 on Tues morning (1/13) at 9 AM! See you there 😄

- Reposted by Siara RouzerA commonly held belief is that the brain keeps maturing until age 25 and then stops, meaning that we should limit substance use until this timepoint. A new AJDAA paper dispels that myth and provides implications for #Cannabis use policy. Read it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

- Reposted by Siara RouzerAre you a scientist who wants to advocate for federal science funding? 📣 SNAP is helping early-career researchers meet with their representatives while they’re home this August, ahead of the FY2026 budget vote, where major cuts to NIH and NSF are on the table. No experience needed—Just your voice!
- Do you want to be involved in advocating for science funding to your representatives?☀️ SNAP is organizing district visits while representatives are in their home districts this August. You'll get training - no experience required! Sign up here: forms.gle/SEe8CtFGEjXF... @snapcoalition.bsky.social
- Reposted by Siara Rouzer🧪 Senate appropriators say: NIH's budget gets a... boost! Rather than 40% cut, NIH gets a $400M *increase* in the Senate committee bill for FY26 (about +1%). "Congress has your back," said @murray.senate.gov. ADVOCACY MATTERS! There's still a long road (esp in the House), so keep up pressure.
