We’re so proud of our summer interns—Andrew, Grace, Mona, Sanjyot, and Ishpreet!
They did an awesome job presenting their project updates today. Great progress so far. Keep it up! 🎉

Excited to share our latest paper from the lab!
We investigated the olfactory system as a strategic connectome target for accessing brain regions involved in cognition.
Big congrats to Ted and @VikMunjal on this exciting work! 🎉
