Those library “read 10 books and get a personal pan pizza coupon” programs but for journal articles🍕

is this anything

AND we have these other papers showing that caffeine doesn't really influence hydration in non-clinical samples: doi.org/10.1123/ijsnem… doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.1… doi.org/10.1080/073157… doi.org/10.1080/104083… doi.org/10.1186/1745-6…

Idk if anyone has said this yet, but if the Astros win it may quite literally save a few Philly lives...so go Astros?

Kava (Piper methysticum) in the United States: the quiet rise of a substance with often subtle effects Pont-Fernandez, Kheyfets, Jeff Rogers, @KirstenElinS & David Epstein (Bluesky: davidnotdave.bsky.social) doi.org/10.1080/009529… #Kava #Reddit #PiperMethysticum #SustanceUse #Anxiolytics #PolyDrugUse

People who have had their daily dose of methadone or buprenorphine, as prescribed, are not "intoxicated." People who have NOT had their daily dose are not merely "not intoxicated." This is an amazing mischaracterization of OUD medications and they way they work.

Very brave and controversial that we looked for common trends in people's self-reported experiences!!

Dopamine is often thought of as a “pleasure” molecule, but Erin Calipari, a neuroscientist who studies addiction in the brain, says it is better understood as a “learning” molecule. Addictive drugs rewire the way we learn. quantamagazine.org/she-studies-ho…

#NIDA & colleagues observed acute effects of #kratom in 10 adults who regularly use it in a 🆕 study, finding no consistent improvement/impairment in psychomotor tasks. But, acute physiological & subjective effects were reported. FLORIDA UC San Diego Holyboyd loom.ly/rQMmlfk

The Ides of March are upon us! Don't forget to leave milk and daggers out for Brutus!

Excited to welcome John Calipari as our new Men's Basketball Head Coach. #OneRazorback

LET’S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE!!!!!!!!! 🐗🐗🐗

One thing I find depressing / unintentionally funny about the replication crisis in psychology is there’s all this high-level drama about retractions & fraud, but the original study is like…“Thinking about God made undergrads (N=28) wash their hands 0.8 seconds longer (p=0.04)”.
