Imagine my surprise when, after spending my morning submitting a manuscript to NeuroImage, I learned they were "now" (as of 2020) 100% open access with a 3500$ article publishing fee for authors 😪

This is when things got really cool! During training to learn to nose poke when a cue is presented, these neurons fire to the reward every time, with the same size response. No shift to the cue. No change in amplitude. No change over trials or days. !!! 10/20

Black Doctors matter! Doctors who see you, how your culture influences your health is so important. I’m grateful for the Black women who are physicians that take the time to have ‘real talk’ during their appts. This is on the ceiling of my PCP’s exam rooms. Intention & Care❤️

I’ve somewhat enjoyed academic Twitter& I feel bad for the employees but watching a turd of a billionaire crash & burn is A-Ok with me. I just wish Jack would also be financially punished for mismanaging Twitter & the lives that are negatively effected by his actions as well 🤷🏽‍♀️

Of course 2days before ACNP2022 I can’t find my travel coffee mug🙄! Going to take it as a sign that with it, I would fall back into caffeine overconsumption/abuse & the headaches wouldn’t be far behind…so it’s for the best but also WHERE IS MY MUG!!!!

Really enjoyed the fostering translation study grp but I’m always alarmed by what some consider a therapeutic win. If 1/3 of the ppl w/aud or sud are helped by a treatment that’s a win 2 me. I get that industry has diff goals but real ppl can benefit from small effects #ACNP2022

Happy Resurrection Sunday! I’m confident that Jesus would want us to have gun reform, autonomy over our bodies(even if those bodies came w/ovaries), & overall stop spewing hate in His most loving & gracious name! Signed A Christian, Honk If Ya Love Jesus Neuroscientist
