Super-excited to visit the Home of the Outlaws in beautiful central Oregon!

We’ll meet with 6th grade students to ask what they already know about our brains and what they’d like to know, consider research discoveries in neuroscience, hold a few real noggins, and make some neuro-art!

A limited opportunity! Housing/meals provided in Sisters, Oregon.
