🎉 Congratulations to Dr. Huda Akil/@Huda_Akil1 on winning the 2025 Vanderbilt Prize in Biomedical Science! Her work on anxiety, depression, and addiction is transformative. A true leader in neuroscience! Story: michmed.org/KDDA4 〽️🧠 @UMneurosciences @UMichMedScience

I'll forever say that the students, faculty, and staff at CUAA deserved better. Honored to play with them for their very last concert at Hill Auditorium.

I’m taking a break from my mental health to focus on my academic work

Excited for my first conference of the year. Can't wait to meet so many incredible scientists at the European Stress Conference! 🤩

My sweet undergrad from last summer sent me a voice message randomly just to say she missed me and to update me on her PREP applications and current classes and when I tell you I'm out here crying on the bus. 🥲🫶🏼

This week might be total 💩 but at least I have them. ❤️

Still can't believe my F31 notice of award came this morning!!! 🥲🤩

@houseofmind @JSpencerSegal @NGPMichigan @NIDAnews Thank you!! 🤩

@JSpencerSegal @NGPMichigan @_christensnyder @NIDAnews Congrats! 💫🌟

Notice of Award Day is always one to celebrate - congrats to the talented and fearless @NGPMichigan student @_christensnyder on her fellowship funding from @NIDAnews

Academic Christmas

I've said it once, and I'll say it a thousand times more - I am so, so thankful to have the professional/academic support system that I do.

Newsflash! Our Dirk Helhammer award-winning paper, showing a new ventral subiculum-BNST route for activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, is now published @PNECJournal authors.elsevier.com/a/1k2k615hUdej… @UM_MNI @umichmedicine @EndocrinologyM

how my day/week/month is going (first pic) with my labs response (second pic). 🥲❤️

If you, unlike me, are in Chicago surrounded by thousands of neuroscientists, please go visit @swapnil100992 this afternoon at posterboard Q6! It’s Swapnil’s first in person @SfNtweets, let’s make it memorable! @UM_MNI @UMich @umichneuro @Inscopix

1100+ miles later and we're done traveling for the foreseeable future. 🤪

went to PA for an early birthday celebration on Thursday only to rush back to MI 24 hours later (in 2 separate cars) because baby Roogie got out and was too skittish to go to anyone but us. then had to return to PA on Saturday for a show. 🥲😂

Live shot of Savannah and I meeting up for breakfast this morning. 🥲

We will miss her so much and I'm jealous of the lab that gets to work with her next. Keep an eye out for her grad school and PREP program applications this year! 👩‍🔬

I had the absolute BEST summer mentoring this shining star. 10 weeks is so short (and even shorter when your mentor is out 3 of those weeks) yet Savannah accomplished so much and continued to amaze me all the way to the very end. 🤩❤️

I strongly believe in transparency in PhD admissions, especially in the face of changing guidelines about how we select students. So, @TaralynTan @VeronicaGMarti2 @Shitskichelle and I wrote this paper for @FUNfaculty to expose the hidden curriculum. 🔦 funjournal.org/wp-content/upl…

@kristen_schuh @TronsonLab @dave_bridges KRISTEN!!!! Congratulations, that's amazing and totally deserved! ⭐️

I am so excited to share that my F31 on the regulation of stress and depression by hormonal contraceptives was awarded by the NICHD!!! I couldn’t have done it without my amazing mentor, @Tronsonlab, co-sponsors, @dave_bridges and Dr. Adriene Beltz, and reference letter writers!
