Parecia impossível pensar nisto uns meses atrás, mas esta semana defendi a minha tese de doutoramento.
Tenho tanto a agradecer a tanta gente que me ajudou durante estes anos dentro e fora do laboratório.
E sem dúvida à educaçao pública que sem ela não teria nunca chegado aqui. 🧠🐀🧀

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉
Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.
You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

PREPRINT🚨Ever wonder how electrical⚡️ stimulation of the brain🧠modulates neuronal activity? Are you working with brain stim and variability makes you want to smash your pc and go to a mountain to grow tomatoes? Are you a family member or a friend who really appreciate me? 1/13
