Last year OHSU killed their Brain Institute, which ended the annual Brain Fair at OMSI and the Society for Neuroscience Oregon/Southwest Washington Chapter Meeting each spring.

And of course we’re ALL under assault by spectacularly unqualified billionaires and felons, who intentionally sow chaos and division, and work to undermine evidence-based research, community safety and public health.
