Matthew, Nicole, and Maggie attended the IHLC in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. The program committee, spear-headed by Steve Lomber, put together a terrific group of talks and posters, with really interesting and varied perspectives. Matthew managed to sneak in a rather cellular talk about the effects of noise on synapses, and Nicole presented a poster of her work. The venue was really beautiful, and commuting each day past blooming cherry orchards made for a memorable week.

Matthew was invited by Hai Huang to give a talk to the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Tulane. It was great to meet with the faculty there, and to enjoy the idyllic weather.
Matthew gave a talk in a symposium organized by Michael Pecka and Andrea Lingner, "Short-term adaptation in early auditory processing: from synaptic depression to focal perception". The session included talks by Henrique von Gersdorff, Israel Nelken, Andrea, Elisa Krächan, and Jörg Encke. We had a great dinner together to celebrate, where the restaurant owner shared his love of gin with us. It was such an honour to be involved, and great to catch up with many friends.
