Last Monday my PhD advisor, Marc Caron, died suddenly. Everyone who knew him is grieving. He was a phenomenal family man, mentor, and scientist.
Hearing stories throughout the week has been helping me cope so I wanted to share some of my fav Marc memories

These words, from neuroanatomy pioneer Ramón y Cajal well over a century ago, remain current. Since his time, explorations of the brain have only revealed it to be more expansive than perhaps Cajal even imagined.
Happy Birthday, Ramón! 🧠
