Left, J.H.M. speaking at the opening of Life of a Neuron Spring 2022 in New York City against a close-up view of the human PFC neuron in its original form. Top right, D.D. and J.H.M. talking inside the Life of a Neuron art installation at its opening in Washington, DC, Fall 2021 during a portion of the 20 min loop in which the neuron is copied and rendered at various developmental stages. Bottom right, D.D. microinjecting human tissue that would ultimately provide the neuron serving as blueprint for the entire Life of a Neuron exhibit on the microinjection station originally used by J.H.M. in the 1980s and gifted to D.D. after her thesis defense.
