Lab(life)


SfN2025
Jenna and Nic had a great time at SfN2025 in San Diego. Both got to present work from the lab and to learn about amazing science. Best of all, the world's largest annual meeting in Neuroscience is a wonderful opportunity to see and spend time with friends, collaborators (including Match from the Ford lab) and colleagues. This year will be remembered as one of the best. As Nic takes on the role of Chair of the Program Committee for SfN2026, he will have big shoes to fill... Yo
