Clinical trials in psychiatry rely on measures of symptomatology, not biology. This @acnporg.bsky.social position paper lays out why validated biomarkers in psychiatry have lagged behind fields like Alzheimer's and ALS, and what it will take to close the gap. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research” We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?

Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.
