Before the annual meeting

Medical Neuroscience at SfN2024 (annual meeting Society for Neuroscience 2024). Because of my work on this website for the course medical neuroscience I was invited again by prof. White to attend the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in 2024 (SfN2024). My husband and I added a vacation trip in the USA to our journey.
We had a wonderful trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks which we thoroughly enjoyed, we were especially captivated by the geothermical activity in that area like the Norris Geyser Basin where geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles can be found. There were a lot of friendly people we met. When we had to evacuate from our lodgings in Montana due to wildfires we received adequate help .
