President's Message - July 2025

Dear Colleagues,

As we turn the page on another successful annual meeting—this time in the beautiful and historic city of Bordeaux—I want to begin by extending my warmest thanks to our outgoing President, Dr. Lucile Capuron. Under her leadership, the meeting was a tremendous success, filled with intellectually engaging talks, vibrant and thought-provoking poster sessions, and a closing banquet that was gorgeous and fun.
 
It is with deep gratitude and profound sense of responsibility that I step into the role of PNIRS’s 31st President. I am proud to be the 11th woman and the first Latina to hold this position. This moment is particularly meaningful to me, as my journey with the Society began over two decades ago as a young postdoctoral trainee at the 2002 meeting in Madison, Wisconsin. From that very first experience, I felt something unique: not just scientific alignment, but a warm and generous community that welcomed me with open arms. I knew then that this would be my forever Society.
