To all the talented scientists 🤩 who didn’t get a travel award or membership for #ACNP2024 this is for you: KEEP APPLYING 😉. So many incredible applications and so few slots. 327 applications for travel awards! That’s an amazing pool of talent 🧠 and a really hard job for the committee. 👏

How can you review for @dpn-journal.bsky.social & @npp-journal.bsky.social? Ask your mentors if you can help with their reviews, & to recommend you if they don’t accept invitation. Or email NPP/DPN Principal Editors to express interest, attach CV, & include key words describing your expertise.

Hi #ACNP2024! A little late to the trend here, but I’m Briana, a postdoc at Columbia and Special Projects Manager for NPP! Been coming to ACNP for several years and it’s my fave meeting for the science and people. Swing by my poster (W221) on Wednesday if you’re interested in NMDA + 5-HT4 targeting!
