For trainees entering computational neuroscience or NeuroAI from an engineering background, where do you direct them to learn some neuroscience these days? Books, courses, ...?
And no... I'm not interested in scaring them off with Kandel!

Honored that a piece I wrote made it to NYTimes. It’s about how my mom’s stroke changed my connection to time, science, and nature. What a privilege to honor my mom in Modern Love.

A neuroscientist studying memory, I used to believe time was linear. Then my mother had a stroke.

For so many, there was a book - often read ~20yo - that had a very big influence on their next steps. Do you have a book story like that? Do tell!
My book was Crick's "Astonishing Hypothesis". I got to feature my 30yo tattered copy in a recent photo shoot.
