#SOBP2024 was a very special & exciting one for me, as it was the first time that there was a panel/event on #livedexperience, #stigma & #disclosure @SOBP. As a researcher w/ lived experience, this was something I had always wanted to see. Many thanks to our panelists & JEDI! 💙

Our recent @PNASNews paper on multigenerational adversity and child microbiome has been receiving a lot of press. In general that is a positive. However, I have been seeing some headlines that are sensationalist and incorrect. A short thread/rant: 1/5
