Terrific episode of the type that everyone will get something out of. Curious to know: Who else has also done a 10 day silent mediation retreat (like Vipassana)? I did, decades ago (in India). It led to one of the most intense sensory experience of my life this far.

Important message from Nev Jones to sr people in the field: Don’t treat young emerging researchers w/ lived experience as a checkbox. Asking them for a grant letter solely because of lived experience puts them in a difficult-to-impossible bind due to power dynamics @acnporg.bsky.social #ACNP2026

Ok seriously, if you’re not at the Lived Experience study group, you need to be. What an amazing panel-these researchers with lived experience have incredible insights to share about the benefits of integrating lived experience into research. Maya Schumer:it’s additive, not adversarial #ACNP2026
