Had such an awesome #ACNP2026. Amazing science and wonderful reunions. Especially grateful for the badass women who presented at the empowerment lunch and the family friendly culture with free childcare for associate members. Kudos!

I brought my 5 year old to work yesterday. When I asked him what he thought he said: "the best part was when I thought it was going to be exciting and the worst part was when it wasn't actually exciting" Reward prediction error!
