Matt Hill

Its my bday (43) and since last years vanity post about my transformation I've had lots of messages asking about tips to get in shape. As New Years is when people get healthy, for my bday this year I figured I'd share some things I've learned that may help some of you get going.

Dr Matt Hill @canna_brain did an awesome job explaining the knowns and unknowns about cannabis on the HLP. And we met in a “discussion” right here on @x (just kidding; sorta). But in all seriousness, he knows the data inside out hubermanlab.com/episode/dr-mat…

Broke out my Jaws socks to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of Jaws on this day in 1975.

JAWS was released 50 years ago today. Regarded the first summer blockbuster and a landmark of Hollywood, the making of story is so crazy it begs the question of how it was ever made… 1/47

Toni Collette arguably gave the best performance in the history of horror. This scene alone.....

Back in Canada after 20 years! 🍁 Honored to speak at #CANACN – big thanks to @CAN_ACN and the amazing organizers. So inspired by the science and energy here. Excited to reconnect and explore collaborations! @canna_brain @sjo09 @DrJKhokhar

I legitimately don’t think I’d recover from this.

Had a legit Hill lab reunion at @CAN_ACN this year with the current 9 grad students and postdocs as well as 2 former members too

19 years married / 24 together and we’re better then ever 💕
