Finally back from #ACNP2024 + a mini Arizona vacation, and I'm feeling so excited to tackle upcoming experiments! Thankful for everyone who stopped by my poster to chat about astrocyte function in the VTA, and to @talialerner.bsky.social for the conference invite!

Back on the baking train!
I originally tried to make these bagels with an overnight starter fermentation, but woke up to realize that my kitchen may have been too cold overnight. Pivoted to a quick recipe and I'm pretty sure these are the best bagels I've ever made 😍
