I really enjoy working with neurohospitalists and have learned so much from you! If no one has told you lately, thank you.

This is one of the best conferences I've attended, but I can't go this year 😭

So glad there's an online option (and it's very affordable)

Reflecting on the AOTA Code of Ethics: A 2025 Crossroads In light of the proposed 2025 revisions to the AOTA Code of Ethics, I feel compelled to respond—not just as a practitioner and educator, but...

A well articulated critique of the new Code of Ethics. I don't agree with all points, but the author definitely make some good points!

Hard truth for grad students:

Writing isn't something you do after the REAL science.

➡︎ Writing IS the science. ⬅︎

Your experiments don't matter
if you can't communicate them.

Your discoveries don't exist
if they stay in your lab notebook.

A single neuron in the human neocortex - photo taken with a confocal microscope

I saw this human neuron in the microscope today. So pretty, so unique.

This single neuron might have helped this person retrieve a memory, make a decision...or shape their personality. So many possibilities.

All my gratitude to the individuals and families who donate their brains to science. 🔬❤️🧠
