Pulled out my vintage 1993 @bluejays.com jersey today - if not now then when? #GoJaysGo What was I doing back in ‘93? Working hard on my post-doctoral fellowship at UCSD in La Jolla CA. How far we have come from those days… Toronto has been my home for almost 30 years 🍁👏🏻🎉🇨🇦 @infneuroendo.bsky.social

At our @bsneuroendo.bsky.social annual meeting in Bradford this year I interviewed the super @denisebelsham.bsky.social on her group's work and what drives her. I think we can all relate to being motivated to prove people wrong!
