Fun experience attending the Embodied Minds Summit! Lots of excellent discussions about consciousness, neuroscience, and interoception.

Great experience representing @UCLA at the @AAAS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science & Engineering Workshop!
Advocated for neuroscience research in meetings with Senate and House offices, learned about science policy, and enjoyed DC in the springtime ☀️

Happy to share our new publication in the Journal of Affective Disorders! We found that an accelerated 5x5 #rTMS protocol (5 sessions per day for 5 days) had similar #depression treatment efficacy to a conventional 6-8 week rTMS protocol.

New blog post! I spoke with @knowamartin (PhD student @MBLScience & @EinsteinMed) about cephalopod neuroscience and behavior 🐙
Noah and I have known each other since middle school, and it was fun learning about his research area.

Had a nice time at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego this year! Great catching up with friends at the meeting and also picked up some cool art. @SfNtweets #SfN25
we are currently recruiting participants!
We are seeking participants in Los Angeles, California aged 18-65 who use cannabis and tobacco regularly. Join our study to explore the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) on reducing cannabis and tobacco use. Free TMS treatment & up to $450 compensation.

Recently, @TheJusticeDept & @realDonaldTrump cut funding to @UCLA, threatening medical breakthroughs that provide lifesaving treatments. Science improves health, drives innovation, and strengthens our economy.

please give it a read and share!
neuromodulation and addiction medicine colleagues: excited to share the results of our clinical trial, testing new stimulation targets to reduce cigarette craving and withdrawal! 🧠⚡️

Last year, when navigating #gradschool applications, I relied greatly on advice from mentors, friends, and online resources. I wrote down their many helpful insights, and I hope they can help anyone else applying to #PhD programs.

Very happy to share our new paper in @NatMentHealth on #neuromodulation, cigarette craving, & anxiety symptoms!
Tons of gratitude for the mentorship of Drs. @tweetnicolepete, Tim Jordan, and Andy Leuchter throughout this project.
Take a look and share!

I am giving a talk on #neuromodulation and #rTMS for smoking cessation this Thursday at the 2023 @srntorg annual meeting.
Come say hi if you’re at the event!
This will be my first time visiting Texas (planning on daily BBQ), which is another reason I’m excited for #SRNT2023
New preprint is out! We found evidence that single-session neuromodulation 🧠⚡️ decreased cigarette craving, but these reductions were not dependent on changes in anxiety like we predicted.
Take a look and share!

Excited to attend @SfNtweets for the first time and present this poster on rTMS, cigarette withdrawal, and anxiety symptoms! Come say hi at the Mechanisms for Addictive Substance Use and Abuse poster session.
Also thrilled to be home in San Diego ☺️🏠🌴
