Just finished a very intense 3 day @CFREF_APOGEE review of @Brains_CAN. So many positive and interesting discussions, and really good food for thought going forward. The present and future of #neuroscience @WesternU looks very bright to me. The best part for me was seeing our @BrainsCAN @WesternU community engaging so enthusiastically in the process and really doing the business to show off the fantastic work going on here.

@CFREF_APOGEE has given @WesternU neuro researchers the opportunity to do better science and more science, faster. (thx @CulhamARI_Lab + Brian Allman for these words) The impacts of this extend beyond the @Brains_CAN and @WesternU communities and will continue for many years. 1/6 Cross-lab, cross-species and cross-level #teamscience. Better access to cutting-edge tools and expertise. Funding for high-risk, high-impact projects. Programs for truly outstanding trainees. Support for collaborations with our sister @CFREF_APOGEE @HBHLMcGill. 2/6
