How a crying baby is similar to denoising an ephys rig:
1) There's noise and you don't know why
2) You need to stay grounded
3) You have superstitious beliefs about what actions stop the noise
4) These actions work sometimes but not always
5) The noise can randomly start again

Drugs like Ozempic are great for weight loss, but they make some people feel sick. We discovered that the brain circuits mediating the appetite suppression are distinct from those that mediate nausea – a finding that may be leveraged to develop more selective GLP1-based drugs.

@Sydney_Trask Literally got a T32, was told I was switched to uni health insurance, broke my leg, and then found out uni never enrolled me 🫠🫠🫠. Had to wait a whole month to get surgery so I could get my own insurance. Quite the promotion.
