This article is more than five years old.

Neuroscience—and science in general—is constantly evolving, so older articles may contain information or theories that have been reevaluated since their original publication date.

The end of the year is traditionally a time for self-reflection. But it doesn’t always have to be serious.

As part of our 2013 Year in Review, we asked some of our favorite researchers to have some fun and ‘fill in the blanks’ of their past, present and future. The result is SFARI ‘Lab Libs’ — our cheeky homage to the infamous Mad Libs — for this year’s final installment of Cross Talk.

We invite you to join the fun. Create your own SFARI Lab Lib below, and post the results in the comments section.
