I'm saddened this morning by the death of Jane Goodall. Growing up as a little girl in the 90's, she was one of two women scientists (+Marie Curie) who had a real presence as role models. I feel very grateful that now, there are so many more. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/s...

Super stoked to share that we received the #NOA for our R01!!! We will be using speech and language markers to develop personalized, adaptive markers for #psychosis. Very grateful for the support from the NIMH.
