science communication for a lay audience is so important. "so imagine that a normal microglia is like a Furby, and a rod microglia is like a long Furby."

soon, I hope, I will be associating with the professors instead of just assisting them!

Running the PREP program at UTHSCSA for the last two years has felt like the biggest impact I've ever had in science. It has been a joy. And now it's gone.
