I spent my last week at the MBL taking a break from blogging–and taking in as much science as I could. We took the scenic route back to Washington, heading across Connecticut on old US-6 and then on to Scranton and Harrisburg and finally into Washington. I think we avoided the worst of the traffic and certainly all of the famed tolls on the coastal route along I-95.
Now back in Arlington, I’m getting ready to commence the new academic year. Tomorrow we’ll go look at the new Nikon A1-R confocal microscope up at their place in Baltimore and then Tuesday I’ll be back at the Institute to catch up with the faculty, postdocs and students.
I’m looking very much forward to teaching this next year–two courses: one on neuroscience survival skills and the other, in the Spring, on the functional role of the mammalian hippocampus.
In the meantime, thanks to my loyal readers and I promise to blog regularly through the Fall.
Jim
