Associate Professor, Medical Sciences Coordinator, Behavioral Pharmacologist, Addictions Researcher, Fierce Recovery Advocate. I look excellent on paper.
My favorite sound will forever be a collective “ohhhhhh” of sudden understanding from a large group of people. It’s like hearing a puzzle piece clunk into place. The auditory reward of academia.
@mapofmyself@GrantHBrennerMD @autefeh As a woman in recovery, this is exactly my experience as well. I decline drinking events as I don’t want to be around drinking, once people start getting tipsy, I’ve lost all my patience and tolerance. I love a good soda water, but that doesn’t make the environment tolerable.
@MDinWaiting It’s unconscionable that in a field where disorders of mental health and substance use are notoriously high, self-disclosing the need for treatment is often punitive. Recovery is professionally detrimental, continuing the harmful behavior is just fine. The whole system is guilty.
@ZJAyres My first conference as a 21-year old masters student was one room for 3 women and 1 man, one full sized bed, and a pull-out couch. It was… cramped, and what they were used to. After that, I stick to room-share squads, still together as PIs now! @CarolineEBass & @KathleenLEgan
Really looking forward to attending the virtual Yoga and Recovery Symposium in September. Three days of sessions covering integration of Addiction, Recovery, and Yoga… I love when professional and personal passions collide.

@KDigsTheWorld @td_dion Buffalo resident here to confirm! I’m in the village on the outskirts of the city and within 3-4 blocks of me have restaurants, bus line, library, post office, farmers market, about 4 churches running alternate day AA meetings. My mortgage is less than 1K a month! 🦬
@beccamasonphd@OpenAcademics@AcademicChatter I adopted the ‘email hour’ a few years ago, and not to be hyperbolic, but it changed my life. Time blocking is so useful, thanks for sharing your example!
