Integrating arts in STEM (“STEAM”) fosters engagement. Here we report on efforts to reach K-12 students and the public about brain research at the 2016 Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego. \nNW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) is an education non-profit that organizes graduates\, undergraduates\, K-12 students\, scientists and artists to collaborate\, learn from each other\, and excite people about brain research through the arts in both formal and informal settings. Our outreach volunteers (from Portland State University\, Oregon Health & Sciences University and other Northwest campuses) have worked with over 12\,000 academic priority students since 2012\, presenting art projects and research in schools\, art museums\, symphonies\, homeless youth centers\, breweries\, theaters and even bike shop pubs! \nIn spring 2016\, we brought 26 volunteers to Washington DC to present in DC public schools\, Congress\, the White House\, and the Phillips Collection!  In October 2016\, we were recognized for an “innovative” outreach model by the Obama White House. \nIn November of 2016\, we were invited to offer insights on outreach by the Society for Neuroscience\, during their 2016 annual conference in San Diego\, California. In addition to participating in productive discussions at SfN\, we also contacted San Diego Public Schools\, ArtReach (a local arts institution)\, and the Neuroscience department at UC San Diego to arrange for actual visits by graduate and undergraduate SfN attendees to local public classrooms! \nStudents at Jefferson and Linda Vista elementary schools learned about neurons\, and how dendrites\, soma and axons are structured to perform different functions. Students built their own colorful brain cells out of pipe cleaners\, and our volunteers brought them back to the SfN conference to create a captivating and compelling display! Many neuroscientists stopped by to discover how their research had inspired young people in the broader community. \nAfter the conference\, we returned the vibrant neurons to the schools\, and student artists built their own network\, along with drawings and text describing what they’d learned about brain research. \nLearn more about these efforts\, and our plans for the 2017 SfN conference in DC: https://nwnoggin.org/2017/02/28/brains2dc/ \nBuilding excitement and awareness of discoveries in neuroscience through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, state\, federal and generational lines trains new scientists to collaborate and communicate\, and increases awareness and support for further investment in brain research\, and the arts. \n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) \nA network grows in San Diego\n \nMyelin Satellite Meeting Speakers\nStephen Back\, Oregon Health & Science University\nHyaluronan mediates perinatal myelination failure through a tolerance-like non-inflammatory signaling pathway \nDennis Bourdette\, Oregon Health & Science University\nA brief history of myelin: From Versalius to the Bunges \nJonah Chan\, University of California San Francisco\nDo remyelination therapies promote axonal survival and neuronal function after inflammatory demyelination? \nBen Emery\, Oregon Health & Science University\nMore than just insulation?

Noggin operates through the combined effort of students\, scientists\, and artists from Oregon and Washington State. This approach provides volunteers with opportunities for involvement that include: outreach\, teaching experience\, public speaking experience\, networking\, and much more. This multi-institutional outreach facilitates collaboration between the community and institutions of higher education which can often be a difficult gap to bridge. In our efforts to teach the public\, we are also teaching ourselves. As future scientists and educators in the making\, we relish the opportunity to share our knowledge with a thirsty and curious public. During the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Brain Fair in March 2017\, Noggin hosted a table where members of the community approached us with questions that challenged and inspired us to think critically\, and creatively\, which further solidified our understanding of neuroscience. By the end of the day\, we had gone through over 1200 gloves\, which were utilized to hold real brains. Ultimately\, we were stunned by the sheer volume of people who attended this event. Contributing to public understanding of neuroscience and psychology generates a sense of altruism within us because we value the contributions\, and personal connections we make within our community. This was especially evident at Shahala Middle School in February of 2017 when Noggin provided brain demonstrations\, and led students through the construction of pipe cleaner neurons. The students were attentive\, respectful\, and most importantly\, engaged in the educational process. It was uplifting to see the eyes of our future generation light up with excitement as they got a closer look at real human brains. We believe that these experiences will remain with them as they continue on their academic journey. Whether that journey leads them to explore the sciences\, or otherwise\, is a prospect that makes doing outreach so rewarding. If we want to begin solving problems in the world\, it starts with outreach. It’s through collaboration\, and the proliferation of knowledge\, that issues can be resolved. The work we do as volunteers fuels our own drive for scientific knowledge\, and we hope to inspire the same in community members we interact with throughout our NW Noggin outreach. \n\n  \nNoggin also submitted a Theme J abstract… \nNW Noggin: Synaptic community connections in the rural Pacific Northwest \nGRIESAR\, W.S.*\, LEAKE\, J.* \nScience needs investment\, and engaging young people and the public explains discoveries and builds support for education and research.  Integrating arts in STEM (STEAM) fosters engagement.  Here we report on efforts to reach K-12 students and the public about brain research through arts in the rural Northwest. NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) is an education non-profit that organizes graduates\, undergraduates\, K-12 students\, scientists and artists to collaborate\, learn from each other\, and excite people about brain research through the arts in both formal and informal settings.  Our urban outreach volunteers (from Portland State University (PSU)\, Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) and other Portland area campuses) have worked with over 14\,000 academic priority students since 2012\, presenting art projects and research in schools\, museums\, homeless youth centers\, breweries\, theaters\, Congress\, the Obama White House\, and even bike shop pubs! In spring 2017\, we hit the road with 10 volunteers from PSU\, OHSU and WSU Vancouver.  We spent three days in the rural Washington community of Davenport\, meeting with every kindergartner through 9th grader in town!  We discussed federally funded research on the brain and drugs\, anxiety\, depression\, Parkinson’s\, Alzheimer’s\, the genetics of parenting behavior\, the mathematical modeling of brain activity\, adolescent brain development and other compelling topics.  We made our own pipe cleaner neurons\, and created beautiful brain cell prints. We were also joined in Davenport by the Manager for Constituent & Community Relations for Representative Cathy McMorris-Rogers\, Republican co-Chair of the House Neuroscience caucus.  Both her office and that of Representative Earl Blumenauer\, the Democratic co-Chair\, had invited our NW Noggin volunteers to present a briefing in Congress in spring 2016. In Davenport\, we were the “brain people\,” offered free coffee all over town\, and covered by the local newspaper.  From the Congresswoman’s staffer:  “A sincere thanks for inviting me to spend time with your group in Davenport! NW Noggin is meeting a very unique but important need in communities across the PNW (and country) which we are very grateful for.” We subsequently drove 14 volunteers to rural La Grande\, Oregon for another popular day of research discussion and brain-related arts with 6th – 12th graders. Building excitement and awareness of discoveries in neuroscience through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, state\, federal\, partisan\, urban/rural and generational lines trains new scientists to collaborate and communicate\, and increases awareness and support for further investment in research and the arts. \n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org)

SUMMARY:Noggin Tuesdays @ P:ear!
DESCRIPTION:Noggin is returning to P:ear\, a remarkable Portland organization aimed at building positive relationships with homeless and transitional youth through education\, art and recreation to affirm their personal worth and help them create more meaningful and healthier lives… \n \nThis week we’re introducing autonomic systems (sympathetic/parasympathetic/enteric) and discussing how we can listen to and use electric currents to learn about the brain.  We’ll bring along some EEG-based games (including the Mindflex Duel\, and perhaps a Human to Human interface from Backyard Brains!).  I think we may be lucky enough to welcome back Kirk Wydner\, who is currently at Oregon State – he’s also an expert on making Arduino-based technology work as required 🙂   \nBrittany may also bring along an EEG cap from OHSU  –  and anything else she thinks might help with understanding the electrical nature of information flow in the brain… \nUPDATE:  See what we did at P:ear on Tuesday\, February 28th\, at the link… \nMaking a human @ P:ear\n \nSee what we’ve been up to during our first two Noggin Tuesdays at the links below… \nLove & Brains @ P:ear\n \nBenefits + limits of neurons @ P:ear\n \nStill more details are available here… \nNoggin returns to P:ear 🍐!
