Its a long weekend here in Canada, which seems appropriate to mourn our recent @npp-journal.bsky.social paper, in which we find that FAAH inhibition does NOT improve symptoms in PTSD🙁 A heroic effort w/ @cannabrain.bsky.social @connorhaggarty.bsky.social @ryanntansey.bsky.social & many more 🧵⬇️

More good vibes to break doom scrolling. Today Maggie is really channeling some Moo Deng vibes with her snappy attitude and skin rolls aplenty.

Everything is absolute shit right now and the world is on fire but as some respite, here are some photos of our 8 week old foster puppy we just got and will have for the next short while, to make you smile.

One of the hardest parts of being a PI is saying goodbye to the amazing trainees that come through your lab and often influence your life. Sam Baglot was an amazing PhD student and while I know she will do great things with Ziva Cooper/Cathy Cahill at UCLA for her postdoc, I am sad to see her go.

I know in Canada we like to add extra o’s and u’s in our words here and there as a vestige to our British roots, but are we really spelling yogurt like this now?
