Research is obviously important but something I grapple with when reporting on mental health is the investment in research over connecting people to interventions. Yes, research. But data seems to say our best hope for treating mental illnesses is addressing social determinants.

Monogamous nonhuman primates exhibit sex-specific responses to intranasal #oxytocin (OT). This CNPRC article outlines several studies from @baleslab & @RocioADelRazo. Their research brings us closer to understanding the long-term effects of OT in humans. shorturl.at/BIY13

Did you see this? @UofCalifornia Executive Vice President Michael Brown wrote a letter to the editor of the LA Times in which he offers 'a full picture of the University of California system’s fair proposal to academic employees.' (1/10) latimes.com/opinion/letter…

Spotted on the picket lines! Undergrad solidarity 💪 #FairUCNow #UAWonStrike

In solidarity with #FairUCNow I will not be tweeting from #SfN22 today. @uaw2865davis

Like humans, flies require sleep to consolidate memory. HOWEVER, depending on the reason for sleep deprivation (i.e. starvation) the brain adapts to consolidate memories even during deprived states. #WomenInSTEM #SfN22

Tonight’s presidential lecturer, Anita Seghal explains how some sleepy flies can teach us more than you might think 🪰💤 #SfN22 med.upenn.edu/sehgallab/

The great thing about being a scientist is that you can follow the questions that interest you. Sometimes you find yourself on unexpected adventures like @effatma modeling drug use in lobsters and crayfish #SfN2022

Pronoun stickers at #SfN2022 for your name tags! Make sure to grab some - they’re on the ground floor in Lobby D next to the Customer Service desk 😌 @SfNtweets

“Studies on #womenshealth factors constitute 0.3% of brain imaging literature” @emilyjacobs It’s time to start investing in women’s health. #SfN2022

Following @NIH’s 2014 mandate to include both sexes in research studies #neuro has increased the ratio of studies looking at BOTH sexes (yay!) HOWEVER, as of 2020 only 5% of neuro rodent studies included sex as a statistical variable 🤔 #SfN2022 @AnnalieseBeery

Attending #SfN2022 can boost enthusiasm, provide career opportunities, and expand social circles BUT it also requires thousands of people to travel. How can we reduce our carbon emissions moving forward? @LUBeckerLab qr.link/J41qLE

Dr. Poe also discussed dramatic sex differences in sleeping rats. Males/females/sleep similarly EXCEPT during the luteal phase when females exhibit more wakefulness and less REM/N2 @ckaraskiewicz

I have a new found fascination with the locus coeruleus 😍

First day of #SfN22 started off with a fantastic lecture about sleep and memory consolidation 💤 @doctorpoe made sure we would remember by engaging the ballroom in song! @SfNtweets
