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

The good news: I’m in Tam Cóc, Vietnam

The bad news: I have f*cking Swedish skin

My 10 year old started drawing with that book, and things really took off

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/

RIP David Lynch

I really hope 2025 doesn’t turn out to be another 2016

My kids were so excited to have snow in NYC that they made a snowman. Eight inches tall

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
