Happy to share my new review article on "Affective Immunology", which comments on what can be considered an emerging sub-field, informed by the amazing legacy of Jan Kiecolt-Glaser in #PNI, and future directions for the field. It was a lot of fun to write! authors.elsevier.com/c/1ig~G3AAzzl2…

@LinkedIn I regained access to my account with support provided by LinkedIn. Many thanks!

So, I was excited about our work on the link between psychological stress and dementia, and tried to connect with more folks on @LinkedIn. But now I am locked out of my account, with no customer service. Please help. :( theconversation.com/chronic-stress… via @ConversationUS

@LinkedInHelp It would be great to connect to a real person. I have not received any DM. Of course, if you are referring to messaging me on LinkedIn, I can't log into it. After trying for days.

@Graham_Engeland Hi there! I'm sorry for any trouble you've had with your LinkedIn account. For further assistance I have sent you a direct message. Kindly refer the chat for more details and reply over there. Thanks!- MG

@MerriamWebster I use "nerf" to refer to a very small amount. As in, just move that over a nerf. All inform me that this isn't actually a real word; but is such a useful one!

What is a word that is used in YOUR family all the time, and you wish everyone else used it, too?

Congratulations @k_vanbogart! It was an honor and so much fun to celebrate with you and your family this weekend of your PhD graduation! Even the weather improved for the main event. @PennStateBBH and @pennstatehhd proud! Here are before and after pictures for all to enjoy.

I was starting my first project at Pitt when COVID happened. We pivoted to remote collection, including dried blood spots for inflammation; here we show this method is feasible, reliable, and valid in older adults. Could be especially useful for hard-to-reach populations in PNI!

@k_vanbogart And she's a beaut!! And big! It is awesome to see her all her glory, with the fancy printing binding she deserves. :) Can't wait for the official hooding ceremony this August to grace this exciting chapter!

Placebo effects are among the most important effects in medicine. They provide a window into the self-healing potential of the mind and brain, and make it challenging to isolate the effects of active treatments like drugs and devices.

Last month, PSU covered our paper at Nature Reviews Psych 🌈 If interested in the social psych of belonging and/or LGBTQ+ health, check it out! Belonging is a fundamental need & facilitates thriving, so what helps or hinders LGBTQ+ folks’ belonging? (1/3) psu.edu/news/liberal-a…

@ddwitzz I'm sure they tasted good! I'll venture from afar that you might just need more batter on the pan to get a more complete layer with your swirling. :)

@ddwitzz I made crepes for family breakfast this morning. It helps to have a crepe pan but a good regular nonstick frying pan works. Swirling the pan to get a thin layer is key, cook enough and it comes right off, light golden brown w no fancy spatula needed! My girls' favorite breakfast

How do people make crepes without a crepe spatula thing? Because mine always end up…. Abstract.

Well done, Nova Scotia! #PNIRS2024

Another successful and fun #PNIRS2024 conference. Great science, conversation, and catching up with colleagues. (and even a little dancing at the banquet)!

Happy to see #PNIRS2024 kicking off with some excellent aging-related programming, related to dietary factors and how they relate to cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease risk. And with a lovely combination of animal-model and human research! #healthyaging #PsychoNeuroImmology

@chris_engeland Adding to what will be a great scientific meeting is the beauty of Halifax, Canada!

Current president @chris_engeland describes the theme of the #PNIRS2024 meeting this year as two-pronged around diversity in PNI research!

@PennStateBBH faculty member Christopher Engeland, current president of @PNIRS kicking off #PNIRS2024 in beautiful Halifax, Canada!

New paper on links between child empthy and health led by @PennStateBBH Hannah Schreier, with BBH graduate students Aishwarya Ganguli and @cate_givens, and @pennstateHDFS Damon Jones. It was fun to help with this fascinating and important work!

@ddwitzz Well, it IS Saturday. So making a good list and calling it a day could be a good option. :)

me: “I feel like I have too much to do” Also me: makes a list of the things instead of actually doing them
