#ThrowbackThursday to the 2022 Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl party Brain Lounge with Nick Holder Mike Yassa Wing (Winny) Ning Lizzy Hubbard Keiland Cooper Bianca Leonard UCI CNLM

With heartfelt introduction by Bianca Leonard!

I got to introduce someone I admire. Good day :)

pretty sure the fate of my career is in the hands of these two 🤭 I'm so lucky 💛🐥

I came forward about someone making me feel unsafe at a conference, and the organizers did something about it. This allowed others to come forward too, and hopefully that person will start their learning journey to treating others better 🙂👍

Love this lab 💙 thank you Nazek Queder, M.S. for your producing work 🎥 🎬

Thank you so much for having me for Hot Topics! Bring follow-up questions to my poster Tuesday night (T95) Neuropsychopharmacology @Rizblatz Dr. Tracy Bale 🟧🧠
