Some personal news: I’ll be joining the UCLA neurosurgery residency program at the end of June. I really want to thank everyone who made this possible, esp Michael Reiser | michaelreiser.bsky.social

If Sydney Brenner would be at Janelia during a trivia night, he’d sheepishly whisper answers to the closest team - always declining an invitation to join. It was very hard to argue with “Hey guys Sydney Brenner just said the answer is ‘Bach’”

Proud to start UCLA Health Dept of Neurological Surgery with Drs Maya Harary, MD, Casaos, & Samarage Our coats are too big, with crease lines fresh from the packaging. Strong metaphor for #InternYear

I want to double emphasize this paper. It’s beautiful data & a massive team effort. Jayaram is a consummate scientist; every paper he drops is a deep contribution to neurobiology. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Best medical school prep for residency would have been carrying a pager during all exams, and getting paged every 5-10 minutes with questions to a completely different exam

This paper supports a big important point - neurobiology is obsessed with topology (at the scale of our experimental devices) but the brain may not care. Synapses may be intermingled, but information may not. Great work by led by Mai Morimoto Michael Reiser | michaelreiser.bsky.social

one way to let the graybeards know you’re coming to change the field is to plant your own data like a flag above the fold of the wikipedia page @casa_tuthill en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioce…

A project from the last month: This Anki deck builds on @Tufts Rhoton 100 deck to cover the complete knowledge base of the new #ABNS neuroanatomy exam. Please share w/ co-residents and med students. We’ll all be better surgeons if we know this cold dropbox.com/s/0dj4mo9ljprn…

When the front desk tells you there’s not enough staff to get your add on going

Welcome to this amazing class of docs healing the brains and spines of LA starting this July!

Thanks everyone for the thoughts today. Thesis successfully defended. Most important slide from the talk:
