Absence

Ok,ok, I know I've been gone for almost a month. And, I know that is terrible. Unfortunately, loyal readers (or, perhaps, more correctly....reader)my posts will become much more inconsitent. School has begun again for me and while I am in active classes my time to post will be extremely limited. On the bright side, I am very excited about my clinical site and group! I am paired with some fabulous people! I'll update with more when we get further into clinicals and I have more to report.
In other news....

Transplanting of bone marrow from OCD mice into healthy mice caused compulsion. This opens so many doors to understanding what causes, and what may eventually treat OCD in humans. Amazing.
