Happy to share that I’ve been awarded the K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from @NIBIBgov ! 🎉Huge thanks to my mentors, @nastasiayendiki and @leahsom for their guidance and encouragement and to everyone who has supported me along the way. Looking forward to what's ahead!

(1/6) New pre-print alert! 🤩🚨 We provide new evidence for contra-hedonic functions of NSSI & ED behaviors in adolescents. See 🧵 for a brief summary 👇 osf.io/preprints/psya…

Meanwhile, if you are interested or have any questions, email a statement of interest + CV to andl@g.harvard.edu. To learn more about us, see andl.wjh.harvard.edu. Thanks!

We at @ANDL_Harvard anticipate an open Research Assistant/Lab Manager position starting this summer, contributing to our work on brain and psychological development through adolescence. Official ad coming soon (we will update it on our lab’s News page)!

New preprint "Multimodal Measurement of Pubertal Development: Stage, Timing, Tempo, and Hormones" presenting data from the Human Connectome Project in Development (HCP-D)! osf.io/preprints/psya…

Too good to restrict to the gram

Go @JASilvers!!! The 2022 Young Investigator Award #flux2023

Find me at #flux2023 if you want to chat about potential articles for the DCN SI on methodological and analytic advances in developmental neuroscience! We are welcoming research studies, review papers, as well as discussion paper.

So excited for the Mind in Development’s first conference poster (2-P-114) by the amazing @drmikksneuro at @FluxSociety ⁩ #Flux2023⁩! Come learn about reward sensitivity as a protective factor in youths in the face of pandemic-related stressors in the HCP in Development study!

@camille_phaneuf @adam0mary @katgrisanzio And last but not least, John Flournoy (Research Scientist in the lab) @flourn0 will be presenting a poster, “HCP-D: Cognitive Control Behavior in Adolescence and the Role of Reward" on Friday #2-H-70!

@camille_phaneuf @adam0mary Katherine Grisanzio (PhD student in the lab) @katgrisanzio will be presenting a poster, "Identifying Functional Connectivity Mediators of the Age-Related Changes in Negative Affective Experience Across Adolescence”, on Friday #2-Q-116!

I am bummed that I couldn't travel to @FluxSociety #Flux2023 this year, but @ANDL_Harvard is there in full effect, presenting our current work! If you're at Flux, please say hi to these brilliant trainees and learn what they are working on:

We're coming up on graduate school application season and our department is committed to helping folks--esp URM researchers-- navigate this process! If you're applying to PhD or research assistant jobs this fall please consider PPREP! Short app due 9/22: bit.ly/3L2WZMW

btw, I'm looking to take on a PhD student in Fall 2024. I'm generally interested in computation, cognition, and development, and particularly interested in intuitive theories (everyday physics and psychology), commonsense reasoning, and the imagination.
