#SANS2024 Mid-career award winner Luke Chang's talk: "Toward a computational social and affective science"

And now the final talk of #SANS2024! Mauricio Delgado's Distinguished Scholar Award talk on "The Inherent Reward of Social Connection"

I truly could not have asked for a better, kinder, or funner co-chair for #SANS2024 than Chelsea Helion. A warm thank you from us both to everyone who came out & made this year’s conference a great success. We look forward to seeing you all next year in CHICAGO 🧡🧠 SANS

Have you ever had trouble coming up with effect size estimates for power calculations in fMRI? If you're at #CNS2024, come check out my poster on Sunday to learn about our new Shiny app for exploring effect sizes (poster C115, 5:00-7:00pm).

My latest take. Not sure if it's hot, cold, or just right (😬) but am curious to hear others' thoughts on this issue!

Emily Finn Agree, and find it hilarious that when I was "growing up" we had to spend all our energy convincing folks that resting state fMRI was worth doing, and now it seems folks need to be convinced that task fMRI is worth doing 🙂

New work from the lab! Acute stress, it seems, reduces preference for larger rewards that may be punished, and has interesting sex-dependent effects on inhibitory control over punished reward-seeking. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The agency who generates official diversity statistics for the US scientific workforce was forced to give up its pilot data, which show it's been misrepresenting its data to avoid adding LGBTQ+ questions. National Center for Science & Engineering Stats is obstructing LGBTQ+ equity in science. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Proud of Erin Morrow for her amazing work on this project! Our findings suggest that unpleasant memories tend to blend together with similar neutral memories in anxious individuals. A riff off a clever memory paradigm by Brice Kuhl Avi Chanales

I am looking to hire 2 research assistants to support cognitive neuroscience research The Neuro in my lab brain-cognition.com pls RT mcgill.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/McGill_Careers…

So excited to have our most recent #dopamine paper led by @_sjmillard and Ivy Hoang out in Nature Neuroscience today! rdcu.be/dHL7l

Exciting new work on the arbitration between experiential and observational learning by Dr. Caroline Charpentier John P O’Doherty and others nature.com/articles/s4146…

Eshin is the absolute best -- go work with him!!

Not on here much lately, so I'm a little late with this one.. but new paper!––an fMRI meta-analysis of cue-reactivity patterns in users of heroin and cocaine. Led by my social media shy grad student Jordan Dejoie, w/ Anna Konova and David V. Smith (@dvsmith.bsky.social) t.ly/_7Mti

Another one! 🧠 UCLA

This is a huge deal everyone. You can read the full argument and beautiful legal brief (seriously!) at lieffcabraser.com/antitrust/acad… where you can also be part of the class if you’ve reviewed for or published in any of these journals since 2020. Lucina Uddin you are brilliant!!!

Mind, Brain, Body - the first longitudinal project on the gut-brain-immune axis from Brain and Body Lab - UCLA - now has a protocol paper - led by the wonderful Shiba Esfand and with contributions from the whole lab via #paperinaday ❤️🌟🎉
