How I feel reflecting on the back to back conferences last week….after having caught up on sleep. SfN and then our org’s annual meeting that we’ve been planning since I started in my new role. So happy that both were a big success! I learned so much!!

Portland is a stellar city that generally thinks of these things. But somehow in the massive reconstruction, access to transportation was not handled thoughtfully. (Or I am missing something here) Walking an additional 1-2 football fields with luggage is not always feasible.

There are only 2 of us doing the encouraging / agreement / commiserating nods?
Academia is held together by caffeine, free labour, and the two people who nod encouragingly during presentations

We had an amazing time at SfN! So much curiosity and research interest from neuroscientists with a broad range of expertise. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth! The awareness opportunity is big and the conversations were fun!!
It has been a great few days at #SfN24! 🧠 Looking forward to the next few days as we continue to spread #Misophonia awareness. Make sure to swing by our📍booth #1831 to learn more about our funding opportunities!
