We Are Homeowners!


As of Thursday, January 26th at around 5:00pm, Elaina and I became homeowners! We are so freakin' excited because this place is a dream. We are going to slowly move in over the next month, so if you have a truck and live in Austin, give us a call! We will provide beer and steaks as payment ;)

Elaina's Abstract for Italy

This past week Elaina submitted her first "first authorship" abstract for a conference she will be attending in Italy. The abstract is titled "Intravenous Ethanol Infusion Effects on Dopamine Response in the Nucleus Accumbens Core and Shell." This is a big deal because although this isn't her first abstract, it's the first one where she is the main author and scientist behind the work.

In case you don't know, an abstract is basically a preliminary summary of study data that is presented to colleagues all over the world, so they can see what studies these scientists are doing that may impact their future research.
