Noggin is returning to P:ear, a remarkable Portland nonprofit aimed at building positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth through education, art and recreation to affirm their personal worth and help them create more meaningful and healthier lives. We’ll be exploring art projects and research related to dehumanized perception and how to overcome it and improve our world throughout this fall, winter and spring.

We are excited to communicate science through the extraordinary volunteer efforts of our talented graduate and undergraduate Noggin participants from Portland State University, Oregon Health & Science University, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and other collaborators!

Learning about brains and behavior, and genuine, evidence-based structural and functional aspects of who we are is powerful and actionable information for everyone, including those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, drug use disorders, bias, chronic stress, insomnia  –  as well as poverty, isolation, racism, homophobia, inequality, Supreme Court corruption and our region’s extreme lack of affordable housing.
