Yesterday when I was looking for something in by bag I found... a bunch of ducks? @TheCalipariLab is saying it wasn't them... so it had to be someone from the @VanderbiltBrain retreat the day before just putting ducks in unattended bags?🤣😂

Great article with quotes from lots of leaders in the field, and plenty of @NatureNeuro papers mentioned 🙂
