Happy to share my new review article on "Affective Immunology", which comments on what can be considered an emerging sub-field, informed by the amazing legacy of Jan Kiecolt-Glaser in #PNI, and future directions for the field. It was a lot of fun to write! https://t.co/pAwNsFamyu
So, I was excited about our work on the link between psychological stress and dementia, and tried to connect with more folks on @LinkedIn. But now I am locked out of my account, with no customer service. Please help. :( https://t.co/wS3vwTZHwE via @ConversationUS
@LinkedInHelp It would be great to connect to a real person. I have not received any DM. Of course, if you are referring to messaging me on LinkedIn, I can't log into it. After trying for days.
@MerriamWebster I use "nerf" to refer to a very small amount. As in, just move that over a nerf. All inform me that this isn't actually a real word; but is such a useful one!
Congratulations @k_vanbogart! It was an honor and so much fun to celebrate with you and your family this weekend of your PhD graduation! Even the weather improved for the main event. @PennStateBBH and @pennstatehhd proud! Here are before and after pictures for all to enjoy.
I was starting my first project at Pitt when COVID happened. We pivoted to remote collection, including dried blood spots for inflammation; here we show this method is feasible, reliable, and valid in older adults. Could be especially useful for hard-to-reach populations in PNI!
@k_vanbogart And she's a beaut!! And big! It is awesome to see her all her glory, with the fancy printing binding she deserves. :) Can't wait for the official hooding ceremony this August to grace this exciting chapter!
Placebo effects are among the most important effects in medicine. They provide a window into the self-healing potential of the mind and brain, and make it challenging to isolate the effects of active treatments like drugs and devices.
Please join us for a free #NIMH -sponsored webinar on the Science of Placebo – 12 - 4 pm EST on July 11-12.

Last month, PSU covered our paper at Nature Reviews Psych 🌈 If interested in the social psych of belonging and/or LGBTQ+ health, check it out! Belonging is a fundamental need & facilitates thriving, so what helps or hinders LGBTQ+ folks’ belonging? (1/3) https://t.co/bsnlvf0lhk
@ddwitzz I'm sure they tasted good! I'll venture from afar that you might just need more batter on the pan to get a more complete layer with your swirling. :)
@ddwitzz I made crepes for family breakfast this morning. It helps to have a crepe pan but a good regular nonstick frying pan works. Swirling the pan to get a thin layer is key, cook enough and it comes right off, light golden brown w no fancy spatula needed! My girls' favorite breakfast
Another successful and fun #PNIRS2024 conference. Great science, conversation, and catching up with colleagues. (and even a little dancing at the banquet)!
Happy to see #PNIRS2024 kicking off with some excellent aging-related programming, related to dietary factors and how they relate to cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease risk. And with a lovely combination of animal-model and human research! #healthyaging#PsychoNeuroImmology
New paper on links between child empthy and health led by @PennStateBBH Hannah Schreier, with BBH graduate students Aishwarya Ganguli and @cate_givens, and @pennstateHDFS Damon Jones. It was fun to help with this fascinating and important work!
Children who report being more empathetic are more likely to show signs of poorer health in the face of more interparental conflict, according to a new study led by researchers in @pennstatehhd.
