SUMMARY:Velo Cult:  Eileen Ruth Torres (OHSU) + Joshua Abraham (PNCA)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT:  The Stressed Brain – The Good\, the Bad\, and the Fat with Eileen Ruth Torres (Behavioral Neuroscience\, OHSU) and Joshua Abraham (PNCA) \nWHERE:  Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42nd Ave\, Portland\, OR 97213 \nWHEN:  Wednesday\, November 29\, 6 – 8pm \nUPDATE: See what we did!\nFeeling stressed?\n \n \nNothing seems to bring people the joy–and the stress–the same way that the holiday season does. How does your brain respond to stressful times? What happens when the stress is chronic\, or extreme? And why does cholesterol matter? Come find out with speakers Eileen and Joshua as they present the art and science of a stressed brain.   \nEileen Torres\, a graduate student at OHSU\, shares her research on how the apolipoprotein E gene\, involved in cholesterol metabolism\, affects the brain’s response to stress\, like that in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. \nJoshua Abraham relates how his own exploration of art started in an almost scientific manner.  There existed a few guesses on how it might all work. And through a series of experiments we find ourselves here\, to discuss and evaluate expressions of art and science. \nNW Noggin Velo Cult events are always free\, open to the public\, child friendly\, and feature access to amazing beer (scroll here for current tap list)\, wine\, coffee\, tea\, sodas and sandwiches…

SUMMARY:Noggin @ Portland Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin Smell\, Memory & Place at the Poster Project for K-12 teachers \nWHERE: Portland Art Museum\, 1219 SW Park Ave\, Portland\, OR 97205 \nWHEN: Thursday\, November 30\, 2017\, 5:30 – 7:30pm \nSee what we did  –  and smelled\, and experienced earlier this month \nOne landscape contains the other…\n \nJoin NW Noggin on another olfactory trek through art at the museum! \nBridging the Museum and the Classroom\nWith generous support from the PGE Foundation\, the Portland Art Museum has expanded the popular Poster Project and created eight\, new\, free posters this fall. Posters feature art across the Museum’s permanent collection by artists from Argentina\, Syria\, India\, Oregon\, and beyond. Deepen your knowledge of the original works. Make connections to school tours. Learn strategies for teaching writing\, science\, critical thinking\, and more through art. Take away activities\, lessons\, and posters—available free to all educators. \nWhat is smell?\nTake a deep breath. Stuff is made of smaller pieces\, and you just inhaled them through your nose. These pieces are molecules\, and they are released from foods\, surfaces\, plants\, trees\, dogs\, bodies\, and that delicious pint of beer in your hands. \n \nUp your nose is a hidden cavity\, where special cells called odor receptors grab specific molecules and respond by sending electricity directly into your brain! These odor receptors stick these hair-like processes through the ceiling of the nasal cavity to bind molecules\, and send more wire-like projections through holes in the bone below your brain to carry the currents. \nLEARN MORE: Olfactory booklet

SUMMARY:Save Grad Education Rally @ OHSU!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Rally to support grad students\, and oppose the grad student tax \nWHERE: Courtyard outside MacKenzie Hall\, OHSU\, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road\, Portland\, OR 97238 \nWHEN: Wednesday\, December 6\, 2017\, 12:00 – 12:30pm \n \nRepublicans in Congress have targeted graduate education\, threatening to tax tuition waivers to pay for tax cuts for wealthy donors and corporations\, making it difficult for innovative biomedical research to continue in the United States. Join grad students and supporters to defend research\, education and outreach… \nLEARN MORE: Scientists Press Senate to Preserve Higher Education Tax Provisions \nLEARN MORE: OHSU Letter to the Conference Committee \nLEARN MORE: Feeling stressed? \n \nMore from the graduate students at OHSU\, many of whom contribute their time\, expertise and energy in our public schools and community venues as outreach volunteers… \nThe Senate recently passed its tax reform bill meaning that the House and Senate will now work together on a conference committee to combine the two versions of the tax bill into a single bill designed to be passed by both houses of Congress. The House’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act contains a repeal of Section 117 (d)\, which makes graduate tuition tax-free\, although the Senate version does not. If the tuition waivers that graduate students currently receive are considered taxable income\, as they are in the House version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act\, graduate school would become unattainable for many\, if not most\, students.   \nThe current average annual stipend for graduate students at OHSU is $30\,000.  If tuition waivers are classified as taxable income\, graduate students will see their taxes increase by at least 100%\, and likely substantially more. Treating graduate student income as if it were $60-90\,000 by removing the waiver would increase the tax burden so significantly that many students would be forced to drop out.  Additionally\, based on their higher tax bracket\, students would be ineligible for need-based aid.  But the impact of this policy change is even further reaching.  Without Section 117 (d)\, the ability to attract new students into Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics (STEM) careers would be severely compromised and groundbreaking research interrupted. \nThe reconciliation of the tax bills begins this week\, meaning that nothing is finalized yet.  There is still a chance that the final bill could include the repeal of Section 117 (d)\, which is where we come in. \n \nFive things you can do right now! \n\nAttend the rally!\nCall and email Rep. Greg Walden* (southeastern Oregon).  He is a member of the Republican leadership\, chair of the most powerful committee (Energy & Commerce)\, and also has the potential to be on the conference committee that will reconcile the two versions of the bill.\nCall and email your U.S. Senator to ask that they continue to advocate for Section 117 (d)\nCall and email your U.S. Representative\nSign our letter to the conference committee: OHSU Letter to the Conference Committee\n\n\nNOTE: Our graduate students brought brain research and art projects to students from SIX eastern Oregon counties last spring in La Grande\, in Greg Walden’s congressional district\, on an entirely volunteer basis.

SUMMARY:Spirit Mountain Community Fund Award Ceremony!
DESCRIPTION:NW Noggin is thrilled and honored to receive a grant from the Confederated Tribes of Grande Ronde\, a sovereign Native American nation in north-central Oregon\, for our art and neuroscience outreach proposal “Synapses & Stories:  Coyote\, Grizzly and their Brains!”  \nWe are invited to the Grande Ronde Tribal campus for a grant presentation ceremony with the Board of Trustees and Tribal Council on Wednesday\, December 13. \nUPDATE: Learn more at the link!\nSynapses & Stories\n \nWHAT: Spirit Mountain Community grant presentation ceremony \nWHERE: Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon Campus\, Governance Building\, 9615 Grand Ronde Road\, Grand Ronde\, OR 97347 \nWHEN: Wednesday\, December 13\, 2017\, 1:30 – 3:00pm \n \nLEARN MORE: The Grand Ronde Story \nLEARN MORE: Oregon Encyclopedia; the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde \nLEARN MORE: Grande Ronde Lesson Plan on Stories & Myths \nThe Grande Ronde seal\, representing 27 confederated tribes (including the Umpqua\, Molalla\, Rogue River\, Kalapuya\, and Shasta)\, reminded us of a neuron’s cell body (or soma) with vivid feather dendrites\, embodying a shared human drive to synapse and connect. \n \nWe crafted a neuron in the seal’s colors as a gift and thank you… \n \nWe will bring 12 Portland/Vancouver area undergraduates and graduates studying neuroscience and art to the Lincoln County School District this spring (potentially Toledo Elementary and Siletz Valley) for a series of three\, day long visits aimed at making connections between figures in Grande Ronde tribal stories (including Coyote\, Crow and Grizzly) and their relevant neuroanatomy… \n \nCorvus Callosum by Sienna Morris \nMany students struggle with academic achievement\, and become disenchanted with school. There is tremendous regional and national need to develop academic programs and approaches that successfully engage “academic priority” students\, and offer access to the social and economic benefits of further education. Our efforts to bring together “near peers\,” including undergraduates in science and art\, to collaborate with graduate students on creating novel\, innovative\, multidisciplinary methods of explaining complex ideas in neuroscience\, exposes these students to scientists and artists at various stages of their careers. \n \nOur volunteers will bring real brains\, both animal and human\, into the classroom\, ask students what they know already about what parts of the brain do\, participate in storytelling\, and consider how various skills and characteristics relate to developing networks of neurons. We’ll engage in multiple art projects\, including neuron building and brain maps\, to allow students to explore these ideas further. \n \nLEARN MORE:  Birds have primate-like numbers of neurons in the forebrain \nWe have done this before\, successfully –   see Noggin Bloggin for details. Students will learn structure/function relationships\, discover educational and career options in neuroscience and art\, and get engaged in big questions about how our brains work and make us who we are. \nAttending the ceremony \nBill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin Neuroscience Coordinator\nJoey Seuferling\, Noggin Resource Council member\nSulema Rodriguez\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO/Noggin Resource Council member

SUMMARY:Illuminated Wilderness: Memory @ Littman Gallery
DESCRIPTION:LITTMAN GALLERY at Portland State University\n1825 SW Broadway #250\nPortland\, OR 97201 \n \nIlluminated Wilderness: Memory\nJanuary 8 – February 2\, 2018\nExhibition reception: Wednesday\, January 17th\, 5pm – 9pm \n\nArt & Science Panel w/NW Noggin: Wednesday\, January 31st\, 6-8pm \n \n“Has it ever struck you… that life is all memory\, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going?” – Eric Kandel \nKindra Crick’s multimedia exhibition explores the intersection between the ‘two cultures’ of science and art that share a common wonder at the creative possibilities which emerge from the cross-pollination of the material and natural worlds. Audiences will find themselves enveloped in\, and invited to navigate through\, an imagined wilderness of the brain within a space filled with LED-illuminated ‘neurons.’ Dendritic arms made of fabric-wrapped wire reach out to create an immersive experience of neuroplasticity. Corseted around each neuron is netted fabric that shimmers in its embrace of the memories held within each synaptic connection. This work was initiated during a NW Noggin collaboration with WSU neuroscientist Dr. John Harkness. \nReflecting on our need for sleep and attempts to capture fleeting sensory experiences is a series of memory-inspired collections and etchings created during Crick’s Jordan Schnitzer Printmaking Residency at the The Sitka Center for Art & Ecology. As a tactile extension of attempting to preserve an ephemeral experience\, she includes field journal notes\, a collection of woodland material\, and captured smells of the Oregon coastal wilderness and Salmon River estuary nearby. \nIn all her art\, Crick wishes to ignite our sense of wonder through immersion\, close examination\, and exploration. \nExhibition runs January 8 to February 2 with extended hours on February 1st and 2nd for the Portland Winter Light Festival. There will be an Art & Science Panel discussion on January 31st. \n** This exhibit was funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.

SUMMARY:VELO CULT: Binyam Nardos & Teressa Raiford on Race\, Bias & Brain
DESCRIPTION:WE DID IT!!! \nPowerful and compelling night of neuroscience research\, art\, action and activism! Learn more at the link below… \nRace\, Bias & Brain: You Can’t Control Art\n \nWHAT:  Race\, Bias & the Brain with Binyam Nardos (Behavioral Neuroscience\, OHSU) & Teressa Raiford (Don’t Shoot Portland) \nWHERE:  Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42nd Ave\, Portland\, OR 97213 \nWHEN:  Wednesday\, January 24\, 6 – 8pm \nFACEBOOK EVENT LINK \n \n \nBINYAM NARDOS: Unofficial reports by some media outlets and community outreach organizations that track and document police violence demonstrate that more than any other demographic group\, young black males are at a particularly heightened risk for fatal police encounters. \nLEARN MORE: A Multi-Level Bayesian Analysis of Racial Bias in Police Shootings at the County-Level in the United States\, 2011–2014 \nThere are many possible underlying causes for the reported violent interactions between police and black individuals. To shed light on the issue\, one approach taken by psychologists and neuroscientists has been to investigate potential behavioral and intrinsic brain-based biases when perceiving black versus white faces. One notable study (B. Keith Payne\, 2001) reports that brief presentation of black vs white faces as racial cues can actually “prime” a quicker response to weapons or items of danger. The same manipulation increases misidentification of tools as weapons for black\, relative to white\, face cues. This occurs even if the face cue was flashed so quickly that the participant doesn’t even know it was there. \nLEARN MORE: Split-Second Decisions and Unintended Stereotyping \nThe above and similar findings point to race as an important construct that drives perception\, which may\, at least in part\, drive the actions taken by law enforcement. Binyam’s research in Damien Fair’s Neuroimaging Lab in Behavioral Neuroscience at OHSU\, which is funded by the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience asks an additional question. Are these types of relationships dependent\, or even enhanced\, based on the emotional state of the subject making quick decisions? \n \nTo investigate the effects of race and emotional context on face perception\, our study used black and white faces as stimuli in a functional MRI task (emotional go/no-go task) designed to study impulse control in black and white young adults. Three emotional contexts were induced in participants: rewarding\, threatening\, or neutral contexts. Behaviorally\, participants exhibited greater impulsive actions (more false alarms) to black faces\, which was enhanced in threat contexts. This finding was paralleled in the brain. Brain patterns revealed increased functional MRI activity for black faces in threatening contexts\, as opposed to few face differences in neutral and rewarding contexts. Our results demonstrate the importance of emotional context as an important factor that influences race perception\, and subsequent decision-making. Such findings should assist in ongoing efforts to increase awareness of race disparities in law enforcement and ultimately a reduction in preventable violent encounters. \n \nTERESSA RAIFORD: The founder of Don’t Shoot Portland\, Teressa creates and contributes to community art to engage people in seeking and achieving social justice. From Teressa: “Non Violent Direct Actions are engineered by tools we have inherited from our individual life experiences\, and real influence from elders and history. Using education has been the key to our consistency and evolution of tactics.

SUMMARY:NW Noggin Art + Science panel @ Littman Gallery
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Art + Science panel with NW Noggin \nWHERE: Littman Gallery\, Portland State University Smith Center\, Room 250\, 1825 SW Broadway\, Portland\, Oregon 97207-0751 \nWHEN: Wednesday\, January 31\, 6:00 – 8:00pm \n \nFor the panel on Art + Science\, Kindra Crick will speak with her collaborator at WSU\, memory researcher Dr. Harkness\, and the arts-integrated neuroscience outreach group NWNoggin\, consisting of Portland State University neuroscientist Dr. Bill Griesar and PSU professor Jeff Leake. \nCome for an enlightening discussion about the exhibit\, the intersection of art and science\, current memory research and sleep \n*** \nKindra Crick’s multimedia exhibition explores the intersection between the ‘two cultures’ of science and art that share a common wonder at the creative possibilities which emerge from the cross-pollination of the material and imagined worlds. \n \nAudiences will find themselves enveloped in\, and invited to navigate through\, an imagined wilderness of the brain within a space filled with LED-illuminated ‘neurons.’ Dendritic arms made of fabric-wrapped wire reach out to create an immersive experience of neuroplasticity. Corseted around each neuron is netted fabric that shimmers in its embrace of the memories held within each synaptic connection. This work was initiated during a NW Noggin collaboration with WSU neuroscientist Dr. John Harkness. \n \nReflecting on our need for sleep and attempts to capture fleeting sensory experiences is a series of memory-inspired collections and etchings created during Crick’s Jordan Schnitzer Printmaking Residency at the The Sitka Center for Art & Ecology. As a tactile extension of attempting to preserve an ephemeral experience\, she includes field journal notes\, a collection of woodland material\, and captured smells of the Oregon coastal wilderness and Salmon River estuary nearby. \nIn all her art\, Crick wishes to ignite our sense of wonder through immersion\, close examination\, and exploration. \n*** \nExhibition runs January 8 to February 2 with extended hours on February 1st and 2nd for the Portland Winter Light Festival. \nThe ‘Illuminated Wilderness’ exhibit was funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council. \n*** \nSLIDES (Part 1): Art Science at Littman PART 1 (ppt) \nSLIDES (Part 1): Art Science at Littman PART 1 (pdf) \nSLIDES (Part 2): Art Science at Littman PART 2 (ppt) \nSLIDES (Part 2): Art Science at Littman PART 2 (pdf) \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggins in Nod: The science of sleep \n \nMore on the NW Noggin collaboration between Kindra Crick and Dr. John Harkness: \nYour brain is plastic @ Velo!\n \nFrom Exploring the Cerebral Wilderness @ Gallery 114 (December\, 2016)

SUMMARY:RACC Juice Awards: NW Noggin!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) Juice Awards! \nAmazing morning! Learn more about RACC\, and the Top Ten Ways you can make a difference for arts and culture at this link..!\nTen Ways to Support the Arts\n \nWHERE: Portland Art Museum\, 1219 SW Park Ave\, Portland\, OR 97205 \nWHEN: Thursday\, March 1\, 2018\, 7:30 – 9:00am \n \nNW Noggin has been selected to receive an award at RACC’s Juice breakfast ceremony on Thursday\, March 1\, 2018. \n \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin has the Juice! \n \n\nNoggin was nominated for “providing arts integrated neuroscience education to the public.” Our nomination was submitted by our friends and collaborators at Portland State University and Oregon Health & Science University. \n \nThank you for supporting innovative arts-integrated STEAM outreach in the Pacific Northwest\, and beyond! \n\n\n \n\n\nFROM RACC…\n\n\n“Noggin will be honored alongside the following for their significant impact to our region’s arts and culture: Kevin Cavanaugh\, Guerrilla Development Co.\, New Expressive Works and Wyse Real Estate Advisors\, Paul Susi\, Profile Theatre\, Red Door Project and Portland Police\, Tyler White\, I Love This Place PDX\, Valerie Otani\, City of Hillsboro\, YWCA\, Imago Theatre and Fred Meyer…” \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nWhat is Juice? \nJuice is the annual breakfast event put on by the Regional Arts & Culture Council where members of the business and arts community come together to celebrate outstanding achievement in expression\, support and service in arts and culture in the tri-county area. Juice was born out of the event known as Arts Breakfast of Champions that was produced by the now defunct Business for Culture and Arts. Think of Juice as RACC’s love letter to the arts by celebrating art’s power through video stories\, performance and awards. This is our opportunity to help business and the broader community truly understand the critical need for art and all the ways our community can support the people producing it. We hope to inspire increased value and investment in the arts through story and connection. More than 400 people attend Juice. They represent the business\, artist\, nonprofit and government sectors.

SUMMARY:VELO CULT: Sleep\, School & Surrealism
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Sleep\, School & Surrealism @ Velo Cult with Emily Weiss\, Psychology\, Portland State University and Jamaali Roberts\, PNCA \nWHERE: Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42nd Ave\, Portland\, OR 97213 \n\nWHEN: Thursday\, March 1\, 6 – 8pm \nThey did it! Learn more at this link…\nBlack Art\, School & Dreams: Exquisite corpses @ Velo\n \n \n \nHow critical is sleep for young brains? Little kids transitioning to school need to manage their thoughts\, feelings\, and actions\, and theory suggests that sufficient sleep is essential. How does a lack of sleep affect kindergarteners and young children\, and impact their development of self-regulation skills? How do racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequities relate to how well\, and how long kids sleep? \nEmily focuses on applied research\, taking science out of the lab into real classrooms and home environments that children navigate every day. Learn about current research on sleep\, self-regulation\, and classroom contexts among low-income\, African-American kindergarteners. \n \nDetail of “Created on their likeness\,” mixed media on canvas by Jamaali Roberts \nJamaali is a multi-faceted painter using different mediums to rethink how Black culture is represented in American society. Jamaali will lead an art and storytelling time. After a brief introduction to African American collage artists\, he will guide the audience to create two craft projects around the idea of “sleep” and “rest.” While they create\, he will use his African drums and percussion to tell stories from his own surreal dream adventures and enlightening sleep meditations. Participants will leave with a better understanding of what sleep can mean for them and how\, conjoined with art\, it can benefits our lives. \n \n\nNW Noggin Velo Cult events are always free\, open to the public\, child friendly\, and feature access to amazing beer (scroll here for current tap list)\, wine\, coffee\, tea\, sodas and sandwiches… \n \nGeorge Carlin on the compelling nature of sleep… \n“People say\, ‘I’m going to sleep now\,’ as if it were nothing. But it’s really a bizarre activity. ‘For the next several hours\, while the sun is gone\, I’m going to become unconscious\, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns\, I will resume my life.’ \nIf you didn’t know what sleep was\, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie\, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you’d seen. \nThey had these people\, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then\, once a day\, usually after dark\, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely\, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there\, completely vulnerable to their enemies\, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or\, if one of the ‘mind adventures’ got too real\, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren’t unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.’ \nSo\, next time you see someone sleeping\, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper\, ‘The creature is regenerating itself.”
