Hi #ACNP2024 ! 👋 This is my 5th time attending the conference, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Looking forward to giving my talk this afternoon on how #early adversity impacts #microglia and the neuroimmune axis, followed by the opening reception this evening! 🍾

Congrats to all the new Associate and Full Members and Fellows of ACNP 👏🎉 I’m thrilled to join their ranks this year at #ACNP2024 🤗

⚠️ 3 more days!

📣#TellUsAboutYourResearch: Meet Hannah Lichtenstein Hannah Lichtenstein 🧠, a graduate research assistant at Georgia State University! Hannah studies the impact of early-life adversity on microglia-mediated synaptic refinement of corticotropin-hormone releasing (CRH) neurons.

That’s my awesome grad student- go Hannah! 👏🤩

📣#TellUsAboutYourResearch: Meet Fadya H. Mroue-Ruiz, a graduate student at Georgia State University! Fadya studies how early-life adversity affects microglial transcriptomics in the PVN of developing mice.

Go Fadya! 👏 So proud of my first grad student Sensitive sweet pea plant
