In these difficult times (all grants frozen) it is good to recognize the good that science can do. Very proud of our new paper on open-source 2P miniscopes! They can image dendrites in cortex and dentate granule neurons through an intact CA1. nature.com/articles/s41467-0ā¦

The NIH has been at the forefront for funding critical scientific discoveries, especially for the prevention and treatment of disorders.
Hoping it remains strong through the current turmoil.
