A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

imposter syndrome hitting hard these last few months, lots of failed experiments and feeling like I am not making progress in my main project, is pretty conflicting with getting these 'rising star' awards 😅

another thing I got to enjoy this SfN was serving as a panelist for the We Adapt, We ENDURE symposium at UC San Diego, also with my friend Julia!

Today is November 20, which marks the start of the Mexican revolution in 1910. Francisco I. Madero launched a rebellion against the dictatorship of Don Porfirio Díaz, which was followed by a decade of violence and a new constitution.

I’ll be presenting my work on species-specific differences in neural population dynamics during singing, multi-region models of HVC and RA, and how population geometry and coupling relates to vocal flexibility. Come check it out Saturday from 1-5!
