The story of my unusual childhood, brain disorder, and why I became a neuroscientist is told here
I was trained as a systems neuroscientist at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
This is a personal blog. All views on this blog are my own, and I avoid posting things directly relating to my work.
