@CodySiciliano As a foster child with parents who were high school dropouts, I really appreciate this. Congrats on sharing your story and encouraging those with similar struggles and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. Learning how to learn can be very difficult.

I miss leading the GROWS program @neuro_MUSC (Graduate Students Reaching Out With Science)! Such an exciting experience to show middle- and high-school students the structures in a REAL human brain and spinal cord! I’m sure @ChristophWCowan and @TheyCallMeDWood crushed it 😉
