Armed, Scientific, and on the UCLA Alumni Website

December 29, 2009

The UCLA Alumni website will feature a recent UCLA Magazine story about Armed with Science to ring in the new year. The swanky banner will be live at the top of the page Dec. 28, 2009 – Jan. 3, 2010. I like to think that the banner represents my internal struggles as a human-robot hybrid with a fragile sense of [...]

Check out this new story, Armed and Scientific, just released by UCLA Magazine. I was recently interviewed for the “Quick Takes” series, which highlights former students and their work since graduating from UCLA.

MimeFest 2007: First Blood Part II

If there were one image that symbolizes the greatness that will forever be Team Neuroscience, it would undoubtedly be Brian/Josh (where Josh >> Brian) slamming a handful of turkey into Seth’s mouth while Mike looks on in horror. Mike’s expression: quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen. Therefore, it was fitting that at [...]

MimeFest 2007: The Next Generation

For five years, I walked past The Archer–in all his disproportionate-muscle-to-endowment-ratio glory–waiting for the perfect opportunity to stand by his side. In the end, I waited until the very last day that I was at UCLA to have Lindsay snap this picture in front of my entire family and the Neuroscience community. The pointing and [...]

The MimeFest 2007 Redundancy

I can explain Brian/Josh’s mounting of the illuminated duck about as well as I can explain Libby’s ownership of it. However, it was abundantly clear that this classic Team Neuroscience moment from the 2005 edition of MOAB (Mother of all BBQs) needed an homage before my time in Los Angeles was complete. Points were deducted [...]

"Weapon X" Meets his Match: The Carmichael Lab Chronicles continue…

Despite weeks of preparation, scouting, and a flawless gameplan, Team Carmichael knew it was chasing a nearly impossible goal. Sweeping the gold medals had never been done at the Neurology Picnic, and it would take more than just physical intimidation and the insemination of fear in the eyes of every man, woman, child, and clown [...]

New competition. Same ending. There will be no build-up. No rising tension. No narrative hook. I am champion of the 2006 Neurology Picnic Balloon Toss. Now, I’ve never been one to gloat, unless of course you consider this journal to be an extension of me, in which case my entire existence would be based on [...]

Neurology Picnic Day 2006 and Weapon X: The Carmichael Lab Chronicles Continue…

While advancing the field of neuroscience through the development of innovative neural repair strategies is the main goal in the Carmichael Lab, we also recognize that personal health and fitness are key ingredients to academic success. Athletics are nothing new for members of the Carmichael Lab. After all, Dr. Carmichael himself was once a legend [...]

The Greatest and Best Neuroscientist in the World

As an Academic Rewards for Collegiate Scientists (ARCS) Scholar, I am required to be photographed for the annual scholar program book. Last week, their principle photographer chased me down in the lab and demanded a picture in a “scientific setting”. We walked around the lab looking for tools or objects that looked “sciency”, but all [...]
