250m deep in the Al Wahbah Crater! 🌋 Just wrapped up finals at KAUST and looking back at this grueling 4-hour trek. It was hot, steep, and rocky—the perfect metaphor for a Master’s program. Here are 4 lessons I’m carrying from the crater into the break: 🧵👇
What does a Neuroscientist do at the Global Water Sustainability Conference?💧 Look for the Data, Policy, & Behavioral Loops! Attended #IDWS2025 in Jeddah this week Water security, like the brain, is a complex system solved at the intersection of #AI, #Policy, & #HumanBehavior
One year ago today: I hosted "Classroom Cognition" for CUNO ( @columbiauniversity.bsky.social's #NeuroscienceOutreach program)🧠 My #SciComm goal: Bridge the gap between #Neuro knowledge & classrooms. Having been a teacher, I experienced firsthand this knowledge gap's harm This talk was my answer👇
GLP-1 drugs can help people lose weight by quelling hunger cues. Nature reports on the work by scientists testing if these drugs can help to cut cravings for cigarettes, alcohol and opioids. 🧪
Will blockbuster obesity drugs revolutionize addiction treatment?
Scientists are testing whether GLP-1 drugs can help to cut cravings for cigarettes, alcohol and opioids — as well as food.

When #Neuroscience meets #Policy! 🧠🇸🇦 Was thrilled to attend the Behavior Change Policy Forum at KAUST last week, focused on driving sustainable waste management. My driving force: Using behavioral insights to translate research into massive, positive societal change (hello, #SaudiVision2030). 🌍
🇨🇦🇨🇦 Just announced: a massive new program from the Canadian govt, separate from the well-known CRCs and CERCs, to recruit foreign scientific talent Canada was already a destination for scientists but whoa. Real impressive for a new govt to back political talking points with serious investment
$1.7 billion to attract international researchers to Canada
Details of the major federal initiative to draw new talent to the country's universities were announced today at UdeM.

Increasing e-cigarette nicotine strength doesn't appear to make e-cigarettes better substitutes for combustible cigs. New data suggesting that both low- and high-nicotine e-cigarettes support product switching about the same. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Does e‐cigarette nicotine strength influence substitution for combustible cigarettes?
Using the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace, we examined the effects of e-liquid freebase nicotine strength (3–24 mg/mL) and e-liquid price (US$0.25–$1.00/mL) on behavioral economic substitution for c...

And that's a wrap on an incredible week of #Neuroscience at KAUST🇸🇦! Thrilled to have attended the Brain Energy Metabolism in Health and Disease conference🧠, hosted by @natureportfolio.nature.com right here on campus. 💡 A great capstone to a week of high-level brain discussions! 👇
The future of the brain is bright at at KAUST 💡 Thrilled to attend the Neuroscience Symposium 2025 🧠 Energy, research, and collaborative spirit were contagious! Sessions covered emerging tools, genetic insights, & brain health. So exciting to see neuro get its flowers here💐
Palestinians mourn their colleague Saleh Al-Jaafarawi, killed today by Israeli-backed gangs in Gaza City.
he survived two years of genocide, reporting the news for us only to become the news story once the genocide was “over” saleh. anas. hamza. the dozens of journalists who have been targeted and killed by the occupation all deserve justice
