A couple of weeks (21st September) back (sorry for the delay!) the fantastic Lauren Sakowski deftly piloted the @RealScientists twitter account through everything Neuroscience. You can catch up on her background in Lauren’s intro post.
Lauren showed us a week of working with cell cultures, mouse models, axons and a very cute dog.

You can see all of Lauren’s tweets at this archived link and you can also see a nice collage of all the photos Lauren posted here (warning includes some very nerdy memes). You can also see more of Lauren’s adventures in science by following here @LaSaks87.
Finally you can read a little more about Lauren’s experiences below in our handy Real Scientists post-curation questionnaire.
How did you find your week as a curator?
It was a really great experience and kept me on my toes.
It can be a shock talking to 12,000. Did you find the sudden rush of interactions (good and bad) daunting?
It was a little daunting with the number of questions being asked at a time, but everyone was patient and I was able to work through them.
Do you have any tips or advice for future RS curators?
Come in with a general plan, but be flexible with it in case an interesting discussion comes up
