Wow It was a wonderful experience cochairing the #CannabinoidsGRS2025 this year alongside Gavin.
I have learned so much but also really enjoyed getting in touch with wonderful young scientists in the #Cannabinoids community.
Absolutely grateful 🥹
Thanks to @DrJKhokhar & @CeceHillard for another fantastic Cannabinoid GRC! The #cannabinerd crew is unparalleled & I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to organize the 2029 meeting with @RyanMcPickle

In honor of Black History Month, we want to highlight a few of the outstanding Black neuroscientists we have interviewed! Now, more than ever, it is critical to strive for & celebrate DEI efforts in research & education—science is stronger when all voices are heard 💜
