The above photo shows surest lab members at our holiday skate. It was great to get together and celebrate a year of discovery. Highlights include:
January: Matt Kaufman generating the first images of mouse cortex with our new 2-photon imaging setup
February: Attending, and presenting at, Cosyne
May: Being part of the Symposium on Quantitative Biology at Cold Spring Harbor
July: Hosting undergraduates John Cannon and Nikaela Bryan as summer students in the lab
August: The addition of a new postdoc, Farzaneh Najafi, a new graduate student, Lital Chartarifsky, and two new technicians, Hien Nguyen and Angela Licata
September: Using intrinsic imaging to see multiple visual areas in the mouse brain
October: Seeing David Raposo and Kachi Odeomene lead the acquisition of a new technology for behavioral data acquisition (alongside Josh Sanders)
November: Traveling to the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting (and Kachi presenting a poster there)

Congrats on a banner year, Anne! Although you forgot to mention: “June: CSHL summer course on computational vision, sans kickball.”
Thanks, Jonathan! It was a bummer about the kickball, but we both had some good moves in ultimate.
