Hace 125 años, Simeon Baldwin, profesor escuela leyes Yale, se refirió a boricuas como "....ignorant and lawless brigands that infest Puerto Rico".
Estos están cumpliendo con su promesa de ir de vuelta al pasado. Quienes le cargan las maletas, luego no se hagan los sorprendidos
“There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico”

What an exciting past 5 days at #cshlneurocon hanging out with @RicheSoizic @YesicaAyon, and so many more people. It is by far my favorite meeting with inspiring science, brilliant people, and every 3rd word is axon or guidance!! And always a special treat to see @Butlerlab_UCLA.
