Last day of @sfn.org! It has been better than expected, catching up with colleagues from all over the world and hearing everyone telling me how much happier I look 💖 Feels great when hard decisions turned out to be the right decision.

Having invited seminar speakers is always very nice, but even better if they're as cool as @drsalinaslab.bsky.social

Thank you @andrewboyce.bsky.social for hosting me at @unmhsc.bsky.social I had a great time with students and faculty, and learned that Albuquerque's founder was from Asturias (de Grao!), which got me really excited 😅

A solitary bottle in our brand new fridge. Things are starting to pick up (much faster than during Covid)!

Haven't been posting a lot. Focusing on getting the lab up and running, but taking a lunch break on a beautiful day is 💯 Thanks @arunsethuraman.bsky.social for getting me out of the office 🙃

This precious work came out almost a year ago and I am celebrating with one of the great authors who contributed. Thank you, Dr. Jensen and everyone else who made it happen 🍻

9 days left (no that I'm counting....)! 🌅🌯
Working every day with these people is the thing I’ll miss from Thomas Jefferson. I’ve been very lucky to work with students who set the bar pretty high!

Clearing my desk at home I found a pile of 15+ letters from some grateful San Diego middle schoolers when I used to have more time to do outreach. I need to find time again, because receiving those letters was more rewarding than any NOA.

Thank you, Facultad de Medicina @ucm.es for this really cool gift for being a speaker at the seminar series. A copy of Ramón y Cajal's doctoral thesis (from 1877)!

It's been fantastic to visit Seoul for the first time, seeing amazing research in stroke, and meet up with old and new colleagues. Brain and Brain PET might become my favorite meeting!

I was looking for our review, authored by Eileen, to share with a student and... AI decided to change our names to male names. Are women in science getting their names "translated" to Edward/Eduardo?

The amazing Bridget, grad student in the lab, won the Jefferson Research as Art competition with this pretty neuronal composite (sorry, no astrocytes 😁). And Gabi, another awesome student (and the newest addition to our lab), submitted another piece with some suspicious but pretty culture 🙃

Kinda hard to focus on writing and prepping figures when there's someone under the desk looking at you with those eyes 🐶

In less than a month I'll be giving a talk in @ucm.es where I did my Master's and had one of my first full research experiences. I look forward to presenting my work to you all. Please join us if you are in the area!
