President's Message - September 2026

Dear Colleagues,

I am honored to write this message to you as the current President of PNIRS.  I attended my first PNIRS meeting in 2002 as a graduate student and it forever changed the trajectory of my career.  The lessons I learned from that meeting began to fill a gap that I had not previously even realized was there – the critical analysis of health and disease from a multi-system, integrative, and bio-behavioral approach which seeks to answer key questions around health disparities and morbidity, but also resilience. I also fell in love with this welcoming and vibrant society and began to make life-long friends.  It is a true privilege to serve the society now in this capacity.
