Heading to RSA? I'll be recruiting 1–2 grad students & 1–2 postdocs to work with me on a newly funded R01 examining alcohol/cannabis use & co-use via EMA. If you're interested—or know someone who may be applying the next cycle—come find me & say hi at the conference! #RSA2026

We're recruiting postdocs to study how people build structured knowledge from experience & use it to act flexibly. Behavioral work, fMRI, computational & AI models, with a lifespan focus. You don't need experience with every method; fit & curiosity matter most. Please repost & share! 🧠

Preston Lab, University of Texas at Austin. Now recruiting 1–2 postdoctoral researchers in learning, memory, development, and flexible behavior. Methods: behavioral experiments, fMRI, computational modeling, and naturalistic stimuli. Apply with CV, research statement, and 3 references to apreston@utexas.edu. Photos show the lab group smiling together, members working at a table, and members at a celebration.

Great time last week with Dr. Marissa Ehringer (CU Boulder). She was our Alcohol-T32 annual invited speaker. And, of course we took her out to Fonda San Miguel for the best interior Mexican food here in Austin.

We are looking for a full time post bacc RA here at Penn State to work on a NIDA R01 project. Should have human subject experience, experiences with doing interviews/ assessments, neuroimaging sessions and/ or EMA is a plus!

I get asked pretty regularly when traveling to give talks where I think we are with SABV. As a policy it seems to be safe for now, but the scrubbing of NIH websites mostly remains, and scientists have fewer resources to help them navigate their own experimental decisions. undark.org/2026/03/30/s...

The Future of Sex as a Biological Variable in Health Research

An executive order upended an NIH policy requiring researchers to account for both sexes in preclinical animal studies.

Does myNCBI ever get hacked? Suddenly missing nearly 50 publications off of mine. This would have happened in the last few weeks as I had led a seminar on the new biosketch.

My quote of the day Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality. Linus Pauling

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky
