“I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.”
–Toni Morrison
The Dana Foundation just awarded NW Noggin a $1500 Brain Awareness grant to help put on NOGGINFEST: the largest student-run, public celebration of interdisciplinary neuroscience in the Pacific Northwest!
