A terrific visit on Friday by @mikeyassa.bsky.social! Mike's work taking the fundamentals of how specific aspects of hippocampal circuitry connect to memory and applying this to neurodegeneration is a tour-de-force in how to go from bench to bedside! 🧠🧬

What a terrific
MCCS meeting last Friday! For over 25 years, this small meeting has included presentations from trainees side by side with leaders in the field. Great to have some Abel lab alumni join some of the current lab in our photo!

Incredible to see what @btlamb.bsky.social and the extraordinary neuroscience community at IUH/IUSM have built that spans from bench to bedside and back again!
Honored to have Dr. Ted Abel give the keynote seminar at the 2nd annual IUH/IUSM Neuroscience Institute Symposium! He gave a provocative and tour-de force presentation highlighting the cellular/molecular pathways that might link neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration!

Congratulations, Coach Ferentz! How to become the winningest coach in Big Ten history? “Just the ability to understand that everything we still want is out there for us, and work with that mindset,” said Iowa center Logan Jones. “Coach has instilled that in all his players.”

A moving visit to the Aga Khan Palace in Pune, which is closely linked to the Indian Freedom Movement. Gandhi and his wife were imprisoned here from 1942 to 1944. It is inspiring to see how the actions of one individual can change the course of history 🙏🏻
