Welcome to my site, where you can see info on my lab, publications, and courses. Here are some frequently asked questions (and thoughtful answers). Some questions are more frequent than others (and some answers are more thoughtful than others).

Why did you choose a career in neuroscience? The brain is the most important organ in the body, yet compared to other organs we know relatively little about it. We can remove a heart and replace it with another heart, and we have been doing this for over 50 years. We are nowhere near this with the brain... Neuroscience is a young science, full of excitement and energy. How can you not love that?!
