Last time I'd applied to travel for a #neuroscience conference, they asked for all my social media handles from like last 5 years (even the deleted ones iirc) - this included Reddit where most people create accounts that allow them to stay at least pseudonymous. Talk about invasion of privacy!
On arrival, I had a funny interaction with the immigration officer who asked me about my work. I mentioned that I study this part of the brain called the #hippocampus and different brain rhythms. He seemed really fascinated and I remember his next question very distinctly (which he asked with a big smile):
"So, are you pro-hippocampus or anti?"
I chuckled and said, "oh, very pro-hippocampus" 😂
[sorry, didn't mean to distract from the message in the OP, just that it reminded me of this interaction]
