It was great to share this experience with @thetransmitter.bsky.social Can't wait to begin this course again in Fall. If you're interested in something like this for your own class, I'm happy to discuss.

It is so nice when you get reviewers' comments back and the suggestions are so spot on and fantastic that I'm actually excited to add to the manuscript what they're asking for.
Thank you, whoever you are!

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

I read her autobiography years ago and even though it was written almost a century ago it was sad to see how little we have advanced as a society...

Does anyone have 3D printer files for objects for the novel object recognition test for mice, and are willing to share?

Also, happy holidays

Last day of @sfn.org! It has been better than expected, catching up with colleagues from all over the world and hearing everyone telling me how much happier I look 💖 Feels great when hard decisions turned out to be the right decision.

Statue of Albuquerque's founder

Thank you @andrewboyce.bsky.social for hosting me at @unmhsc.bsky.social I had a great time with students and faculty, and learned that Albuquerque's founder was from Asturias (de Grao!), which got me really excited 😅

I do remember that as a child I found the film very unsettling because I thought it was unfair and hard on the little mouse. I don't remember the plot, only how it made me feel.
