Julia Smith
This past Sunday I accomplished a major personal goal: running my first marathon. I could not have done it without the support of my family, friends, and colleagues who supported me during training, encouraged me when the race got postponed, and cheered me on during race day. 💜
When your preliminary results support Aim 1 of your K23 😅
Yesterday was @julialsmith.bsky.social’s last day in the lab 😠In addition to being a wonderful human and trainee, she single handedly ran my K23 and finished 4 years of recruitment in 2. It’s so bittersweet. She is off to IUI to do her PhD in Clinical Psych with Melissa Cyders and I’m so proud!
Congratulations to my undergraduate RAs Natalie Neubecker, Malina Maxham, and Alana Colvin, for presenting their posters at the UROP Research Symposium and to @julialsmith.bsky.social for being such an amazing mentor to them! Excited that all are staying in the lab!
✨New article is out! We looked at sex differences as a moderator of anxiety and depression symptoms and stress induced alcohol seeking ✨ Blunted state stimulation may lead to stress induced alcohol seeking in men! ✨ @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social ✨ Check it out: www.mdpi.com/3739790
So excited to announce that I have accepted an offer in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at IU Indianapolis working with Dr. Melissa Cyders!
