SUMMARY:VIRTUAL Society for Neuroscience conference!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Society for Neuroscience conference \nLive conference canceled\nVirtual options only this year\nLEARN MORE: Neuroscience 2021 to be Fully Virtual \nWHERE: McCormick Place Convention Center\, 2301 S King Dr\, Chicago\, IL 6061 \nWHEN: November 8 – 11\, 2021 (NOW VIRTUAL ONLY; LIVE EVENTS CANCELED) \nREAD OUR ABSTRACT BELOW!\nPREVIOUS PLANS: The following members of the Portland State University Neuroscience Club will be presenting posters at the virtual Society for Neuroscience conference in Chicago\, Illinois. Neuro Club is still presenting this year\, virtually. \n1. Rose Jardine; SfN member C-006789\n2. Melissa DeMoura; SfN member C-009736\n3. Nancy MacKenzie; SfN member C-009994 \n4. Liv McGrah; SfN member C-011836 \n \nLIVE CONFERENCE CANCELED \n\nArrival: Friday\, November 12\nConference attendance/Poster presentation: TBD (Saturday\, 11/13 or Sunday\, 11/14)\nCommunity Outreach w/University of Chicago Neuro Club: Monday\, November 15\nConference attendance/Departure: Tuesday\, November 16\n\n \nLEARN MORE: SfN Statement on Neuroscience 2021 Planning \nThis extensive and extraordinary international conference celebrated its 49th year in 2019\, and our NW Noggin outreach volunteers not only presented original posters\, but visited with over 500 K-12 students in Chicago Public Schools\, collaborated with the Society for Social Neuroscience\, introduced neuroscience research and art to the public at the International Museum of Surgical Science  –  and brought the first real extra human brain specimens into the SfN conference itself! \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggins in CHICAGO! \nLEARN MORE: Student Reflections on Chicago \nLEARN MORE: Noggins @ Society for Neuroscience \nNOTE: We did this as unpaid\, enthusiastic outreach volunteers\, and secured our own funds for travel and attendance through the generosity of SfN (which provided complimentary conference registration)\, as well as our free public celebrations of neuroscience research\, music\, art and BRAINS! \n \nLEARN MORE: NOGGINFEST \nLEARN MORE: Nonprofit Noggins! \nOpportunities to engage undergraduates\, graduates\, K-12 students and the public\, who fund the National Institutes of Health\, in discussions and art making around advances in neuroscience research is our passion\, and we don’t just “#scitalk” about it  –  we genuinely do it! \n \nThe pandemic canceled SfN in 2020\, but we’re thrilled to return\, vaccinated and in awe of the power of scientific research to benefit\, enrich and illuminate our lives to a new conference in Chicago in November\, 2021. \n \nWe welcome support to bring our collaborating young neuroscientist and artist volunteers both to SfN\, where they present their own work and encounter cutting edge discoveries  –  and into public schools and community spaces\, where they listen\, share\, discuss and learn where research and stories intersect. \n \n \nDONATE HERE!\n \nAbstract Submitted!\nControl/Tracking Number: 2021-J-6319-SfN\nActivity: Theme J Abstract\nCurrent Date/Time: August 26\, 2021 11:24:48 AM EDT \nNOTE: We decided to withdraw from formal attendance this year\, and direct scarce resources towards direct community engagement  –  but we definitely plan to return live and ready for public outreach to an exciting in person SfN conference in 2022! \n \nSfN 2021 Abstract\nReconnecting our brains one cell at a time in a pandemic\n \nVIEW ABSTRACT: SfN 2021 Abstract Submission \nDOWNLOAD: SfN-2021-Abstract-Submission \nAUTHOR BLOCK *W.

These networks of linked neurons and glia make us who we are\, and let us perceive\, think and behave. When separated by trauma or injury they are remarkably plastic\, capable of establishing new synapses\, developing creative approaches to navigating a complex world. Nonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. We bring diverse students excited by research and their own arts-integrated study of brains and behavior into K-12 public schools\, youth correctional facilities\, Congress\, houseless youth centers\, coffee shops and pubs to hear to what people already know and what they’d like to know\, and to see where our stories and discoveries from labs and classrooms intersect. We’ve talked with almost 50\,000 people since 2012! In 2020\, with COVID-19 suspending in-person outreach\, we developed a new found object brain cell project we could engage in online. We asked people to look around their own environment and find objects that reminded them of neurons or glia. We asked: “Can you construct a brain cell out of things that you find? What objects for you represent the function of a glial cell\, or neuron\, or the function of specific parts of a neuron? Do these objects have personal meaning\, or say something about you?” We brought this project to K-12 classrooms in the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii\, and presented it through two global webinars in collaboration with BrainFacts.org\, a public information initiative of The Kavli Foundation\, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Society for Neuroscience. \n \nThe brain cells created and posted online with the hashtag #showusyourbraincell are extraordinary – beautiful\, compelling\, informative – and offer windows into people’s individual lives and circumstances. Many took the opportunity to explain the materials used and their significance\, connecting essential aspects of other fields and cultures to basic structural components of our brains. A pandemic is traumatic\, separates networks\, and makes it hard to connect. Yet like our brain cells\, we can adapt and find new approaches to our ever-changing world. Building excitement and awareness of discoveries\, educational options and careers through arts-integrated neuroscience outreach also trains new scientists to collaborate\, engages more people\, and increases awareness and support for community investment in both brain research and the arts. \n \nLEARN MORE: Pandemic connections \nLEARN MORE: Reconnecting Our Brains\, One Cell at a Time \nLEARN MORE: Action & Potential! \nLEARN MORE: Returning to find a voice \nLEARN MORE: Uploading your brain from Vancouver \nLEARN MORE: Ho brah\, he lolo maoli kēlā! \nLEARN MORE: NogginFest 2021: Threshold Potential! \nLEARN MORE: A crayon in Homer’s brain \nLEARN MORE: Neurons in Minecraft & More! \nLEARN MORE: Thank You Northwest Noggin!
