Extremely excited to share our @TrendsNeuro review today! Prenatal opioid exposure is a growing area of research, and the studies discussed in this review showcase some of the emerging preclinical research that is being conducted.

Could not be more proud of our #SUIP student @sofiabennetts, who completed her summer program yesterday! Sofia is a fantastic scientist, creative thinker, and a wonderful presence in the lab- it was an honor to be your mentor. The Blendy lab will miss you!
Having a great time so far at #EB2022 sharing my work and learning from others! Ben is an amazing mentor and PI, and there's no chance I would be where I am today without him. Great to catch up and see new faces too!
