Thank you to my alma mater @queensu for recognizing the importance of investing in early intervention science for youth mental health. My project aims to develop and evaluate a new therapy program for motivation difficulties experienced by patients at risk of psychosis.
@head_like_egg @NatureNeuro Thanks for this kind of work, Tim. Those who suggest scientists should stay out of politics are profoundly misguided, especially when politicians blaspheme science.
Very excited to congratulate @_tanyatran on an outstanding PhD defense today! Dr. Tran's work on understanding the interaction of motivation, effort, reward, and cognition in psychosis and depression help us understand new paths to functional recovery.
