Was honoured to speak at the @pintofscience event this evening. It was a full house, with such an engaged, brilliant audience. Thanks for making it such a memorable evening. 🍺🧠
The undertaking of the century fresh off the press from my first postdoc in Sweden. Not what we hoped to find but that raises new questions on the topic of endocannabinoids and their relationship with PTSD #Cannabinerds
Its a long weekend here in Canada, which seems appropriate to mourn our recent @npp_journal paper, in which we find that FAAH inhibition does NOT improve symptoms in PTSD🙁
A heroic effort w/ @canna_brain @Heilig_Lab @ConnorHaggarty & many more 🧵⬇️

While visual scene analysis is well-studied, olfactory scene analysis - how we separate distinct smells, is less understood. Our latest research used real-world odours to explore analytical processing in identifying odours from complex mixtures.
