The science is always top notch but so too are the people. #SFN25 was a great opportunity to catch up with dear old friends and make some new ones. In this crazy world, I consider myself very fortunate indeed to be able to interact with all of these fine folks.

You know, I will say, @tedabelneuro.bsky.social and the Iowa Neuroscience Institute really knows how to throw a party. There may have been shenanigans. Thanks INI for being such generous hosts and making a highlight of #sfn25.

What a great synapse social! Thanks to everyone who came including our special guests Troy Littleton, Heather Broihier, Sheena Josselyn, Megan Williams, Martin Hruska, and more! And extra thanks for my co-organiser Julie Lefebvre for being amazing to work with. A great time for faculty AND trainees!

The edge of the sunset makes for a nice little post SfN science run! 4.5 miles earns me some tacos.

Pretty excited I didn't listen to the resident who said, "What?! You can't run the SDCC to Hillcrest!" Because I can and it's fucking delightful.

My first San Diego stop is always El Chingon. Not just for the amazing food, but because they have a menu item where you just buy a round for the kitchen staff. And every fucking place ever should have that. Line cooks make the world go round.
