My lab! From my academic advisor to my labmates in the @SocNeuroHealth Lab! Applying to programs like #HPRS can be daunting. Having someone to read over materials and provide motivation makes a huge difference! #ScholarVoices
Hear from a current scholar! @Maurryce_Starks, who was your biggest support during the application process? #ScholarVoices

Following her recent @TEDx talk, we had an *amazing* interview with Dr. Muscatell, PI of the @UNCPsych @SocNeuroHealth lab (and Manny's advisor). She shared her expertise on the physiological consequences of racial and economic inequality. open.spotify.com/episode/68C…
We are so proud of Keely for her amazing talk at TedX Reno! Check it out here: youtu.be/mpCvLXtMqiw?list=PL…

Interesting research-based talk from Keely Muscatell (@SocNeuroHealth) about the impact of stress on the immune system. The link between mental & physiological health is real. #TEDxReno

our lab is not only a team-we're a family. and we're grateful to have our work featured by @UNCResearch. special shout out to @gmalvarez12 and @_carringtonnn, the first grad students to join the lab; their brilliance and hard work are fueling important discoveries in social PNI.
"This isn’t a case of the brilliant person thinking their thoughts in an office and writing them down," said Muscatell. "My lab is a team... That’s how we’re going to lead to the biggest breakthroughs — by working together." Learn more ⬇️ @UNCResearch @UNCPsych @SocNeuroHealth

a highlight of the (little) APS annual meeting every year! please join us!
Mentorship has always been strongly present in APS’s DNA, which differentiates APS from other societies! Early career researchers are the future of our society, and as senior researchers the mentor-mentee reception may be the occasion to pay it forward. So - 1/2
