Look at the size of this photomultiplier tube in the Nobel Prize museum. Imagine doing two photon imaging with one of those!

In the midst of the relentless assault on US science, I was very happy this afternoon to teach the 1st yr neuroscience PhD students how to solder together a voltage divider and test it with an oscilloscope 🤓🧐

With the recent news of David Lynch's death, I thought I'd tell the brief story of the only time I saw him. Near the end of my PhD, I walked past a big poster (at Yale) saying David Lynch was giving a public lecture on the brain and consciousness. Obviously, I had to go. 1/

Finally got the four player arcade joystick we built this summer hooked up to a retro arcade emulator! The kids are going wild playing Gauntlet while the adults are getting drunk
