For the last several years, for her PhD and post-doc, Dr. Girlfriend spent a lot of time looking at neurons. A couple years back I made neuron magnets for her and her lab mates.
I don’t really remember making so many of them, but I sure must have because while packing up my house for a move, I keep finding more of them.

Keep up cleaning your workshop.

Gotta take a break from cleaning the shop to work on cleaning the house! Dr.Girlfriend is 1200 miles away, so it’s just me and the dog taking care of both.

My best friend in college (actually “uni” in the UK) got his PhD for his work modeling neural networks. This is early 90’s, tech was not what it is now, but he’d show me his stuff and it was fascinating. We had access to VAX mainframes but his Amiga in his room performed better. 
Around that time we got some of the “cube” style systems (NeXT) that Jobs was involved in, and that was a big leap forward.
He got relocated to Australia to continue his research by a global brand you would never had thought had any stake in that game.

What a start for a scary movie! Just watch out for when they sneak up on you. The Neo-Neuros are attracted to you to eat your brains

She’s an immunology scientist, not an MD. But she earned her Phd and we both love Venture Bros… so I call her Dr. Girlfriend.
