My sincerest thanks to Dave Dyer for giving me the opportunity to volunteer in the UMZM: without your initial support and encouragement, none of this would have been possible. My deepest gratitude goes to Hank Green for seeing the potential and making The Brain Scoop a reality. Thank you, Heather Hsu; without you the next chapter in my adventure would forever remain unwritten. I thank The Field Museum for their continued support in the production of The Brain Scoop, and am so looking forward to becoming a part of their team! And - from the bottom of my heart - thank you to everyone who has watched, liked, shared and commented: this would not have happened without you.
