Unpopular opinion: Hybrid conferences should be here to stay. This is an inclusivity and accessibility issue, particularly for attendees from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). 🧵1/11

How amazing that the first results of exome sequencing align with Marina Picciotto’s classic work on the reinforcement mechanisms contributing to compulsive nicotine use. Those were great papers to read for quals back in grad school. And now human neuroscience is catching up!

Wow! Big news. Congrats.

Fantastic to have Julian Neumann and Timon Merk visit New York! Lots of work in progress to look out for.

It was wonderful to be in Lisbon, Portugal for the International Brain Stimulation Conference! Loved catching up with old/new friends Angelique C Paulk Rina Zelmann Uma Mohan dan_mccalley Casey H. Halpern Helen Mayberg, MD Andrew H. Smith M.D, Ph.D! If only a stomach bug hadn’t thwarted my talk 💔

Congratulations Helen S. Mayberg of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, newly inducted #NASmember! #NAS160 #neuroscience

Thank you everyone for the kind words & for helping celebrate my election to National Academy of Sciences last Friday. It is such a tremendous honor, but one that would not have been possible without my students, postdocs, collaborators & colleagues. The secret to science is teamwork! #NAS160

So glad to be at a place where we offer patients the full range of neuromodulation therapies (ECT, TMS, VNS, DBS), making work like this possible.

Excited to have a new commentary in Biological Psychiatry on Haber Neuroanatomy Lab subcortical neuroanatomy findings. Read on for a discussion of which brain structures we target when treating #OCD with #DBS, and which mental processes seem to change in response: bit.ly/3Jbavga

Salman is one of those people who improves the academic experience of everyone he interacts with. A great colleague in addition to a great researcher. Don’t miss a chance to hire him!

🧵#5 The moment is here: our latest study is out in nature! To catch you up: 20 years of investigating DBS for treatment-resistant #depression & we found a 🎯 (SCC), refined precision, gauged long-term efficacy & spotted early signs of recovery. Now, we have exciting news...

What a surprise to receive tenure on my birthday!! 🎂 🥳 V grateful to the many ppl, incuding refs, who have supported me through this journey. @DanielaSchiler, Yasmin Hurd, PhD Helen Mayberg, MD Francesca Mapua Filbey Ignacio Saez, PhD everyone at @sinaiCCP Mount Sinai Psychiatry Friedman Brain Institute

#OCDCon put on by International OCD Foundation is such a unique and fantastic annual conference, bringing together patients, clinicians, and researchers. I’m excited to give the talk today on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for OCD.

Another week closer to #ACNP2024 & another opportunity to highlight some of the💫all-star💫 ACNP Travel Awardees🤩 See below to learn more about Andrea M. Maxwell andrew murphy @ZachTPennington Matt Pomrenze Andrew H. Smith M.D, Ph.D @CarolineJWSmith Sarah H. Sperry, PhD Norman Spivak

Dr. Smith (Andrew H. Smith M.D, Ph.D)'s scientific goal is to reduce the need for trial-and-error in psychiatry by advancing individualized modulation of neural circuits #ACNP2024

The clinical work of Andrew H. Smith M.D, Ph.D uses TMS, VNS, and DBS to treat illnesses such as major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder / Be sure to say hello👋to this rising star🌟 physician-scientist at #ACNP2024

We are delighted to see the publication of the 6th Ed of Charney & Nestler's Neurobiology of Mental Illness by Oxford Press.

We're hiring a new #TMS assistant. Ideally a recent grad looking to work for a few years in New York before applying to medical or graduate school. Ample opportunities to present and publish data. If aware of any excellent candidates, please forward! bit.ly/4l5wzcW
