Minds are chewing on numbers
to determine whether or not they are prime!

*Calls ASQ (American Society for Quality)*

The recorded message informs me, "Your call may be monitored for quality assurance."

Sounds very suitable.

Thanks for the quality time!

silence + salience

Currently happy about: IKEA

happiness to you,
love to the world,
wisdom to you 🎶

^Repeated song during the New Year's Eve ceremony at the Zen Buddhist Temple Ann Arbor: my prior home.

Jim rhymes with Tim,
yet I have yet to meet a Jimothy
nor a Tames

Now home after 21 consecutive days of traveling, being sick, or both.

Recharging 7 different electronic devices.

Thank you so much, @nicolecrust.bsky.social!

I am hard to categorize and people sometimes don't know what to do with me. Yet similar to how some neurons are conjunctive in what they encode, I am excited to bringing things together.

Including resources for the field to make the impact possible!

A happy slice of life during SfN: handing my new Sanmai business card to my dissertation advisor.

Receiving yet more new business cards from Kaleida Capital today and looking forward to the shuffle synthesis!

Joyful for being in various dimensions of neurotech.

I think I am going to move to SF proper in the new year.

There's simply too much neural activity to be based an hour south of the city.

Ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory three times this week.
They say third time's the charm, yet the second and third times were just as charming as the first time.

The person in charge of the press room at @sfn.org walked around with a box of dark chocolate peanut butter cups and offered them to the remaining people in here!

It was a very wholesome moment.

After talking with people during @sfn.org about their innovations, I am convinced that neurotech is not a bubble, but is really just getting started as a growing area.

We will see inspiring things come into the world empowering discovery, humanity, and healthcare systems.

I am now back on LinkedIn

LinkedIn has temporarily restricted my account until tomorrow because they think they have detected automation tools. This happened last time I went to SfN too: making too many connections?

Ironically, I can't contact their support because I need to be logged into LinkedIn to contact their support!

Hello San Diego!
And the many humans here for neuro conferences!

Excited to host this Neurotech Glow Walk on Friday!

#neuroscience #neurotech

Yay!

My voice is recovered enough to have real spoken conversations!

Still recovering from laryngitis.
Currently happy about: having the foresight to have stockpiled three large boxes of tissues.

A new adventure is taking flight!

I am delighted to share that I’m starting a new position as Venture Fellow with Kaleida Capital!

I’ll be working on deal sourcing, diligence, and ecosystem research across our NeuroAI thesis, while continuing involvements with the broader neurotech community.

Currently happy about: just happening to have the correct rare cable needed for something

It's cutting-edge!
It's noninvasive!
It's... a haircut!

Ship shape: in good shape to ship

Currently amused by: the algorithms pushing medical device hardware and software advertisements into my consciousness via various websites I visit

Today, I:
-Met up with a friend for breakfast
-Finished reading a book
-Made a new friend over tea
-Wrapped up a mindfulness course I was teaching

It is a wonderful life!

🥰 One of the people who attended the first Neurotech Glow Walk this past week sent me a message saying she really enjoyed meeting people at the event AND has already met up with some of them for coffee!

I also made plans to reconnect over coffee with some people who came to the Glow Walk!
