I am finally taking the time to let what I learn at #BGA2024 sink in, so here is a far-from-exhaustive list of the cool new stuff I saw in London!
(First cool thing: the view from the venue!)

I presented my research at #BGA2024 last week in London. Adolescent pain is unfortunately quite prevalent and is only becoming more common.

Last week, I presented my work at #bga2024 in London and got to meet so many amazing people and future collaborators! My presentation was about the overlap in genetic factors influencing social media use and well-being. There will be a pre-print very soon, so stay tuned!
