The final week brought a series of events which made it seem like two weeks.
After another good Monday (well, for some of us, Juan battled his PC and unfortunately lost. #JuanNeedsAMac), we planned to meet once again with Jaakko and Aino for our after-work festivities (tennis and dinner!).
The two of them are also neuroscientists by trade, and if you’d look up Jaakko, you’d find a publication list containing more pages than I have publications. He only recently pivoted into industry, joining a small 4-person startup as the CTO. They essentially made hypersensitive hardware that measures the temperature of the retina when it is given laser treatment for blindness due to retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration. Funny enough, I also did my Masters in a similar field! … Aino has finished her PhD this year, and will also be making the jump into industry, working… as of today?!... at a startup involved in writing algorithms to automated the processing of biomedical imaging.
