We desperately need policies that support care work and reduce the "cost of caring" borne by women in our society.

In this clip, Dr. Tené Lewis highlights implications from her research on the physiological cost of caring in over-stressed communities.

How does a wild baboon's early life stress affect the lifespan of future generations?

In this clip, Dr. Jenny Tung highlights her research as co-director of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project, a longitudinal-observational study following generations of baboons in Kenya since 1971.

Enjoyed presenting our research at #PNIRS2025. Such a wonderful week in Bordeaux, full of science and friendship.

Amazing time at #PNIRS2025 in Bordeaux! Great science, great people, and a stunning setting. Thrilled to present our work on exercise & hippocampal volume in depression. Plus, our new paper just dropped! 🧠💪 shorturl.at/lDXvP #BBIH

🥂

As we’re savoring the great memories of #PNIRS2025, let’s take a moment to thank our PNIRS 2024–2025 President, Dr. Lucile Capuron, for all the hard work she has put into the PNIRS, leading to another successful year of programming and initiatives!
