We ate well last night (in a tent, indoors, with s'mores for dessert), and are energized to talk science today at #SfN2025. Come visit our posters:

Lots of thoughts and feelings, but more than anything it feels like a blow to the sense of community, which I’ve found to be the hardest yet most vital part of academia. We’re capable of doing anything and more, we just rather do it in a way that brings us joy, we deserve to.
Lots of anxiety but also considerable courage and determination. We need to nurture and support the next generation of scientists, especially those who overcame significant barriers to join the field.
