Amazing news!!!! Congrats, Scott!! 🎉💪🏻🔥🧠

[Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD @EricJNestler]

This appointment is especially meaningful to me since @ScottRussoPhD first joined my lab then at UT Southwestern at Dallas as a postdoc in 2003 and was my first faculty hire when I moved to @IcahnMountSinai in 2008.

New lab paper by Merridee Lefner identifying a novel role for VTA GABA neurons in behavioral flexibility

GABA, but NOT dopamine, neuron activation correlates with behavior when cues unexpectedly shift from predicting punishment to predicting reward

We worked so well as a team for the #GRCPsychedelics @VVyazovskiy @MelissaHerman4 @ViditaVaidya

and congrats to @TheBorisLab and @MikaelPalner, who will be the future vice-chairs!

[WalshLab @LabWalsh]

Thanks @DoctorDanPhD! Very frustrating ! Would be nice to not be trapped on the plane! Maybe @delta could just delay boarding a little since this seems to be a pattern!

[Dan Christoffel @DoctorDanPhD]

Just wow😡 @Delta is failing again! My lovely @LabWalsh is delayed again this week on her return flight from Boston. Her Sunday flight to Boston from RDU was delayed 6 hrs!! @Delta get your team in order plan for delayed takeoff and fuel up enough if there are weather concerns!!

Check out the very FIRST podcast episode from our colleagues at @dpn_journal that explores challenges with using LLMs in healthcare materials ⤵️

[Vidita Vaidya @ViditaVaidya]

@kwanalexc @VVyazovskiy @MelissaHerman4 @TheBorisLab @MikaelPalner An absolutely terrific job by Alex and Vlad on the inaugural #GRCPsychedelics it was wonderful for Melissa and I to be your vice-chairs and it is a hard act to follow 😊

[Sofiya Hupalo @sofiyahupalo]

Check it out and let us know what you think of @dpn_journal’s new podcast created by AI 👇🏻

[Vidita Vaidya @ViditaVaidya]

Hutment lab- past and present- at the #GRCPsychedelics - enjoying the scientific smorgasbord spanning from structure and function to clinical trials.

[Mahathi Vuruputuri @Mahathi_VR]

Thrilled and grateful to have received the travel award for #GRCPsychedelics @TIFRScience
Many thanks and congratulations to @ViditaVaidyan @MelissaHerman4 @VVyazovskiy @kwanalexc for organising this wonderful conference bringing together the psychedelic research community!

[BryanRoth @zenbrainest]

in the spirit of the recent #psychedelic GRC which is heretofore known as the 'WOODSTOCK OF PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE' I propose a new definition in which every psychedelic is 'classical'!!
