Title of the piece: “illuminating memory”. It's always a pleasure to find a popular magazine @NatGeo covering this important topic. How about the picture I took? Memorable no? #arayalab #CAN_ACN
Congratulations to @DianaEMitchell, for her presentation on fragile X Syndrome (#FSX) and Inoussa Balma @Icent772 for his presentation on Phelan-McDermid syndrome (#PMS) at the 44e Symposium International de Neurosciences @CR_CHUSJ @med_umontreal @CAN_ACN @BrainCanada
This is an important issue for Canada: Lack of research funding pushes PhD students out of Canada, threatening a new brain drain As funding stagnates, scientists warn Canada could lose a generation of talent theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Not often you get birthday wishes from one of the best football/soccer players of all time. Gracias miles @cocamendoza_ @ColoColo !!
Just had an unforgettable experience climbing in the Andes of Santiago, Chile (my hometown), all while juggling work commitments, teaching grad and undergrads, and presenting the work of the @ArayAlab at @usach , thanks to Pato Rojas for the invitation.
Friends, we need your help. An Wu, a postdoc from UCSD is missing post-Cosyne. We're trying to locate her. We're worried she may have been staying at a building that had a bad fire this week. If you have any information about where An was staying or last seen please contact me.
Thanks Pablo Castillo from @EinsteinMed for visiting us and for giving a great talk on presynaptic LTP @med_umontreal
