In this belated, crazy, #EM_Monday I am posting an image I took showing some organellar communications at a neuronal soma: a mitochondria contacting nuclear envelope, and Golgi going all the way from nuclear envelope to plasma membrane.

Failure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

Charles Watson and I were writing The Brain: An Introduction to Functional Neuroanatomy and I wanted to show the complexity of an astrocyte. I coloured each layer of this confocal stack from the CCDB: green at the rear, cycling blue, red then yellow in front. The green branch wraps a capillary.
