NW Noggin volunteers include neuroscience undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs and artists, and both individually and collectively we present and attend local chapter meetings and international conferences for the Society for Neuroscience (SfN).

Yet we don’t stay in the humongous convention centers of Chicago, San Diego or DC. We make a point to bring our informed and enthusiastic outreach volunteers into surrounding communities, to make brain art and discuss neuroscience research with K-12 students and the public!

We’ve also worked with SfN to present global webinars on outreach, run a mobbed Art of Neuroscience pipe-cleaner neuron building booth, bring real human brains into their 50th anniversary – and in 2018 we presented the keynote address on Brain Awareness!

Learn about all these exciting and educational experiences, how we manage to organize support for so many students – and how you can do this too – at the links below 🙂
