The Gaudet lab took a road trip to Houston to attend the Mission Connect Annual Symposium. Mission Connect, a program of the TIRR Foundation, is an incredible resource for spinal cord injury researchers in Texas - they hold grant competitions, monthly meetings, and an annual symposium. This year, we were excited to hear from the plenary speaker, Dr. Jeffrey Twiss. We stayed well caffeinated, and trainees received constructive feedback on their posters. We appreciate this excellent meeting, and look forward to seeing everyone again in Houston in 2025!
