WHAT IS NOGGINFEST?
Science, research, collaboration, empathy and art matter, and we aim to celebrate it all!

Make art! Enjoy music! Discover cutting edge research! Ask questions! Hold BRAINS! This is the largest student-run, accessible, FREE, all ages, public celebration of music, art, brain research and interdisciplinary neuroscience in the Pacific Northwest!

Northwest Noggin and the PSU Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Association/Neuro Club are stepping up for our NINTH annual NOGGINFEST! And for the second time we’re adding a BRAIN FAIR plus a Society for Neuroscience Chapter Meeting, with MORE research speakers and research posters, MORE brains, MORE live music and MORE art!
