Steve Ross showed me grace and compassion when I needed it most, and I’ll always be grateful for knowing him. I found this in the photo albums at #ASP2023Reno, and now he smiles over me while I work. Sending up a toast to Steve 🍻

I had a blast at the #ASP2023Reno conference last week, where I presented the first data from @CognOriginsLab! I also met some academic idols 🤩 and did a quick hike 🧗‍♀️before flying back.
