I nominated quite a few people, both from my lab and from the WiNUK team which I worked with last year! This is the second year they are running this awards program and I’m very excited to see it continue, hopefully again for a year 3 but we will see how year 2 goes first I think.

An entire month since #BNA2025, I really hope everyone has fully recovered (and turned in all of their refund requests to their departments...)

A few more of my pics from the end of the event (peep the album to see if you are there: flic.kr/s/aHBqjCbCex)

Thank you @britishneuro.bsky.social!
