Not only that, but I ended up attending graduate school at UCSD, in the same department as Larry Squire (who appeared in the NatGeo piece to talk about his work with EP, the anterograde amnesia patient).

Katherine Switzer (first woman to run Boston) said, “If you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon,” and I’ve always loved that. I am not running tomorrow (it’s a bucket list item of mine!), but have been a rabid running fan for many years now.

Highly recommend Sweet Home (we stayed there during our honeymoon and had such a great time—the staff are absolutely lovely, and the breakfasts are delicious!!) www.sweethomehotel.gr

I would like to become an investor (with my postdoc salary)

I’ve been using it for the past year and love it (helpful for self-care and reminders to do things like water the plants)! My bird just finished exploring NYC too 🤩

McClain looks so smooth and comfortable!
