The holiday seasons can bring up a lot of feelings that may be difficult to work through. It's okay to not be okay!

Remember, there are resources out there to help you. We are one of them :)

✨ NEW paper is out from our group ✨

In the letter, we advocate for faculty & scientists to create & support new learning experiences tailored for high school students!

Goal: build a more diverse pipeline with STEM careers through early interest

I can't thank @ResearchMUSC enough for the Emerging Scholars Travel Award to support this once in a lifetime experience!

[MUSC Research @ResearchMUSC]

The MUSC Emerging Scholars Travel Award provides support for conference travel to students, research fellows & postdocs, like Anna Kirkland, PhD, pictured at the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (@ISBRAComm) World Congress in Melbourne, Australia!

@NIAAAnews Some people think that if you have 1 drink per hour, you will remain below the 0.08% BAC and can safely drive. So many factors impact BAC! This is a dangerous myth for anyone drinking alcohol.

Baby scientist!

[MUSC Youth Collaborative @MUSCYouthCollab]

This #ResearchWednesday we are throwing it back to @annaekirkland's first research poster wayyyyy back when!
✅ adolescent research
✅ neuroimaging
✅ joy of sharing science
🤩 some things never change!

Big thanks to @jenrobinsonphd for inspiring a love for science 🧠🩷

[Anna Kirkland @annaekirkland]

We found...
❌ no differences in neurometabolite levels measured with 1H-MRS in the dACC
⬆️ reactivity to alcohol cues in amygdala in those reporting heavy drinking vs. those who did not drink
⬆️ reactivity to alcohol cues in females, regardless of alcohol use

[Anna Kirkland @annaekirkland]

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Check out my newest paper reporting the main findings from my @NIAAAnews F32 published in @DrugAlcoholDep!

Using multimodal neuroimaging, we assessed the neural effects of adolescent heavy drinking.

Sneak peek of the results below!
