Have I just broken the society's number one rule? Never let people know of our existence! 😬

We rarely go out, socialise or leave our comfort zones. Meetings last a matter of minutes, but we spend weeks replaying any conversations in our minds!

I spotted this T-shirt while on holiday in June and thought that it would be an appropriate addition to my wardrobe 😉

I took this pic through an office window at the end of a wonderful, though demanding week, being the full time carer of an elderly family member on holiday. Cannot tell you how much it resonates! Made me smile big and wide. It’s okay to both have a nice time and to want to scream afterwards. #introvert #carer #family

I usually don’t share anything online unless I’ve ruminated on it over and over and over again until words lose their shape. But it’s occurred to me that it’s not the healthiest attitude. (What a shocker, right?)

I’d like to grow out of it, and what better way to make sure I stick to it than a public commitment? So I hereby challenge myself to share one random neuro factoid a day for 365 days. That seems like a good number.

No polishing, no checking and re-checking and digging through 20 papers until I’m sure that’s the consensus. And most importantly, finding a way to get rid of that pressure in my chest that makes me think my whole life will collapse if I’m *whispers* wrong.

So here goes nothing.

Day 1: synapses don’t just go in the direction axon -> dendrite, but they can also be between dendrite -> soma, dendrite -> dendrite, and even axon -> axon, among others. Might seem trivial, but I remember casually mentioning this in a conversation with a physicist and it completely blew their mind. *small nod to domain expertise*

And because community activities are usually more fun, if anyone else wants to do a similar sharing challenge, feel free to use the hashtag #ShyButSharing365

"So if Introverts look inwards,

and Extroverts outwards,

where the hell do Otroverts look?

Neither of the above.

“Their fundamental orientation is defined by the fact that it is rarely the same direction that anyone else is facing.”
