Great to be back in Ocean City, Maryland last week with Noreen and Seamus--from the beach to wild ponies, Pokerino and crabs and the chance to get together with Uncle Bobby and Aunt Betsy along with old friends!

Truly an honor to meet UIowa Music alum Simon Estes at the Des Moines Metro Opera performance of Puccini's Tosca yesterday! From Centerville, Iowa, he went on to transform the opera world with his bass-baritone voice that I listened to growing up! 🎼

Great to spend time this morning in Magdeburg talking with Klaus Reymann, whose work on second messenger signaling underlying synaptic plasticity laid the groundwork for much of my own research! 🧠🧬

A wonderful reminder from physicist and author Sean M. Carroll. 📖
"We have to keep up the romance and the idealist notions of what it means to learn things and to be a better educated person... Take time to learn things. It's one of the best things you could do with your time." —Dr. Sean M. Carroll

A terrific visit on Friday by @mikeyassa.bsky.social! Mike's work taking the fundamentals of how specific aspects of hippocampal circuitry connect to memory and applying this to neurodegeneration is a tour-de-force in how to go from bench to bedside! 🧠🧬

Congratulations, Coach Ferentz! How to become the winningest coach in Big Ten history? “Just the ability to understand that everything we still want is out there for us, and work with that mindset,” said Iowa center Logan Jones. “Coach has instilled that in all his players.”

A moving visit to the Aga Khan Palace in Pune, which is closely linked to the Indian Freedom Movement. Gandhi and his wife were imprisoned here from 1942 to 1944. It is inspiring to see how the actions of one individual can change the course of history 🙏🏻
