@lcornelas.bsky.social crushing her talk at the 25th National Science Network on Drug Abuse conference at @universityofmiami.bsky.social! Incredible and important work on #GABA, #endocannabinoids, traumatic #stress, and #alcohol use in animal models. #NSNDA2025 #addictionscience #trauma @unm.edu

“Hey, everybody! Come look! New @mpwrlab.bsky.social logo just dropped!” Huge shoutout to our very own @reaganfitzke.bsky.social for creating it! Can you spot the @unm.edu colors? 😏

MPWR Lab is moving to New Mexico! And we don’t even have to change our logo!

I am thrilled to share I have officially accepted an offer for a TT Asst Prof of Clinical Psychology position at the U of New Mexico! SO excited to join their Dept and be an affiliate of CASAA too! I cannot wait to work with so many stellar faculty and students there! @unm.edu @casaa.bsky.social

Yesterday, 3 of my MA students and 1 of my PhD students @brigittabeck.bsky.social gave an amazing symposium at #RMPA2025 in Denver! Had a packed room too! Then, my 2 Senior Honors Thesis students presented posters on their preliminary results at their first conference! Proud mentor over here. 😄

First-Year MA student Ellie McLane just gave her first conference symposium talk at #RMPA2025! To no one’s surprise, she crushed it! Her 2nd talk will be at 11 am tomorrow focused on #trauma with 3 other members of @mpwrlab.bsky.social for those attending the conference!

As always, had the best time presenting & connecting at #CPA2025! I’m very fortunate to work with amazing colleagues and PhD students. Also, now more than ever in my career, it felt esp. important to promote #addictionscience! See you all next year! @apadivision50.bsky.social

We are happy to announce that 2 of our members recently won UCCS awards! Brigitta Beck (3rd-year PhD) won the award for Outstanding PhD Student for our Trauma PhD program, and Christina López González (2nd-year MA) won the Outstanding MA Student for our Clinical MA program. Kudos to both rockstars!

Very excited to announce that several of our grad student members: Ellie McLane, Britta Beck, Shantel Horne, & Christina López González had their #trauma #research symposium accepted by the RMPA for their annual conference in April! We are so proud of you continuing to fight the good fight!

Happy to move over to a more friendly platform to promote our work and connect with other research labs and institutions fighting the good fight. Check out our website in our profile and all the incredible members of our lab!
