On the way to #CPDD26 and someone gave me their first class seat so they could sit with their family 😭🥹

Our Social Media Editor, @faheypsych.bsky.social, was recently interviewed on "Behind the Masthead" to discuss challenges for early career addiction science researchers in the current publishing landscape. Listen to the episode here: www.bu.edu/aodhealth/po...

I had the pleasure of recently being interviewed on "Behind the Masthead" where we talked about how the recent changes to addiction research funding and publishing affect early career researchers like me. You can listen here: www.bu.edu/aodhealth/po...

Not surprising but still jarring to read: "corporate profit maximization functions as a cross-cutting driver of health disparities and premature mortality in the United States." www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/14...

Lots of people asking about who has co-sponsored the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. w/ @rephaleystevens.bsky.social. The answer is Rep. Eric Swalwell. This is why we need people power NOW. Sign the petition & call your rep asking them to co-sponsor: www.standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

🚨 Today, I formally introduced articles of impeachment against Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK Jr. has turned his back on science and the safety of the American people. Michiganders cannot take another day of his chaos.

Celebrating the small wins! My scoping review of substance use in transgender youth has reached 50 citations! So happy this project is being used to inform research filling important gaps. www-sciencedirect-com.libproxy.unm.edu/science/arti...

for those in my boat, the designation has changed on my grant from yesterday to this new pergatory

My first funding curve post for Fiscal Year 2026 FY2026 is off to a slow start. Some of this is due to the government shut down, but some of it is likely due to the new process for "remediating" applications that are deemed not to align with "agency priorities".

When they said having kids meant you'd be sick a lot, I was thinking like the common cold.... not HFMD 2x in 2 months 😭

In Medicaid patients with new OUD dx, methadone and buprenorphine were associated with >75% reduction in overdose risk. Only 30% received medication treatment. Timely medication treatment is critical. Study by: @treitlerpeter.bsky.social. newsroom.taylorandfrancisgroup.com/nearly-seven...

A commonly held belief is that the brain keeps maturing until age 25 and then stops, meaning that we should limit substance use until this timepoint. A new AJDAA paper dispels that myth and provides implications for #Cannabis use policy. Read it here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
