Thanks to our amazing speakers for the SciComm seminar last week @VanessaHrvatin, @UBCPsych's @jsnsndr2 and @ZoologyUBC's Sylvia Heredia.

There is a lot of anecdotal information about optogenetic and chemogenetic tools not working, or not working very well, for silencing synaptic terminals. We decided to try and collect this information to better understand which approaches were tested, and how well they work.
