It’s a wrap! Started with the Tokyo Hand Meeting on April 17th at @riken-science.bsky.social campus, then spinal dynamics perspective session with Kazuhiko Seki and Martyn Goulding at the NCM meeting in Kobe! Thank you Simon Giszter for giving a great introduction and serving as discussant!
Thrilled to announce I received the Kobe Young Investigator Prize from the Nakatani Foundation! 🎉 The spinal cord deserves high-throughput physiology tools that work well in awake, behaving animals. We're going to build them. www.kobe-prize.jp
