I reached across the aisle to have conservatives review my op-ed reflecting on my NIH fellowship termination. I review the grant process, how funding cuts impact current students & how these changes will ripple through the U.S. economy

I wrote a comp neuro textbook.

Two years ago I began compiling the notes from my undergrad comp neuro course into a single document and the project gradually grew into a proper book.

It needs some work before I call it a final draft, but it's 95% done.

In case you’re having a bad day, here’s a video of a rhino playing with his ball. Apparently he’ll even toss it out of his pen 🥺 @sandiegozoo

Today marks 10 years since we started our intracortical BCI trial in Pittsburgh @PittTweet & @UPMC_PMR. We would like to thank Jan for her dedication and contributions to research and for being an inspiration to so many. She is truly a pioneer! 🦾🧠🦸‍♀️

@hcmacomber @AlisonGreenlaw Last tip haha! I’ve started yoga with Adrianne on YouTube, there pretty short, like 25-30 min so it’s not a major commitment

[olivia lutz @olutz8]

@hcmacomber @AlisonGreenlaw Totally understandable! Another helpful thing for me is rest breaks- so I find a space like the breastfeeding room and go lay down on the floor with my feet up on a chair for even just 20 min. It’s nice to take that pressure off your spine from all the sitting, bending etc

[olivia lutz @olutz8]

@hcmacomber Agreed!! Thanks for sharing this. People ask me why not switch from a macaque lab to a rodent one so I can do experimental work. The answer is that the same problems would be there. If you want any tips for dealing with back pain let me know ☺️

How are hands so versatile and precise? @AntonSobinov and I review the anatomy of the hand, its musculature, and the expansive neural circuits that mediate manual dexterity. I learned a lot writing this and hope you will too!
