WHERE: Free Public Webex Presentation – REGISTER HERE

WHEN: Monday, August 15, noon – 1:00pm

The Brain Research Awareness and Information Network (BRAINet) is the volunteer outreach organization of the OHSU Brain Institute (OBI). BRAINet’s mission is to foster awareness and support for OBI and for neuroscience research by educating the public and engaging in community interaction.

Bill Griesar (PSU/OHSU) and Jeff Leake (PSU) will introduce Northwest Noggin.

We’re excited to speak about the journey of Northwest Noggin, the work we do, our challenges and successes, our amazing community collaborators and the role of art and creativity in outreach and teaching!

Northwest Noggin is a robust, creative, entirely volunteer driven non-profit organization (EIN: 81-3885713) that brings together scientists and artists and students of all ages to contribute their expertise, listen and learn from others, enthuse young people about science and art, share area educational resources and inform and excite the public about ongoing, taxpayer supported neuroscience research.

Since 2012 we’ve met over 55,000 K-12 students in Portland, Vancouver, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, rural Oregon and Washington, San Diego, Chicago and DC public schools! We’ve offered free talks from collaborating students in neuroscience and art, and informed our community about ongoing brain research, training graduates to present their work to a lay audience.
