SUMMARY:Noggin Poster @ SfN!
DESCRIPTION:Session Type: Theme J Poster\nSession Number: 026\nSession Title: Neuroscience Outreach Activities I\nSession Date and Time: Saturday Nov 11\, 2017 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nLocation/Room: Walter E. Washington Convention Center: Hall A\nAbstract Control Number: 3104\nPresentation Number: 026.13SA\nPosterboard Number: WW19\n \n \nNW Noggin: Synaptic community connections in the rural Pacific Northwest \n \nDOWNLOAD: Noggin Poster 2017 Griesar Leake \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 + PSU Posters @ Brain Awareness Campaign event!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Opening Channels to Brain Awareness \n \nWHERE:  Society for Neuroscience conference in DC; Hall E of the Convention Center \nWHEN:  Saturday\, November 11\, 2017\, 2:30 – 4:00pm \n \nBill Griesar and Jeff Leake will present a poster for NW Noggin… \nAnd five additional PSU undergraduates have been invited to present a second poster on the extent and effectiveness of STEAM outreach at a Brain Awareness campaign event at the conference!  The students are Rebekah Hough\, Thomas Madison\, Jessica Patching-Bunch\, Travis Christian\, and Alison Mack… \nWe’ll share ideas\, initiatives and successes in neuroscience education outreach by presenting a poster at this year’s Brain Awareness Campaign Event. \nWe’ll celebrate Brain Awareness and share outreach achievements with Brain Awareness Week organizers from around the world\, and applaud the winners of the Brain Awareness Video Contest and other education awards. \nWe’ll also hear from Jayatri Das\, the Chief Bioscientist at the Franklin Institute\, about how museums can be channels for connecting scientists to new audiences through neuroscience outreach  –  something that NW Noggin has pursued many times\, with the Portland Art Museum\, Phillips Collection\, etc… \nHere are a few key details about the event that presenters should know: \n\nThe Brain Awareness Campaign Event: Opening Channels to Brain Awareness is Saturday\, November 11\, from 2:30 – 4:00 PM\nThe event will take place in the Hall E of the Convention Center\nPoster setup will begin at 2:00 pm. Setup is first come\, first serve. Any posters put up before 2:00 pm will be removed by staff.\n\nPSU undergraduate outreach poster… \nNW Noggin: connecting communities coast to coast \n\nR. Hough*\, T. Madison*\, J. Patching-Bunch**\, T. Christian*\, A. Mack*\n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University\n**Developmental Brain Imaging Lab (DBIL Lab)\, Oregon Health & Science University \nNoggin helps us influence the community in a meaningful way. Noggin provided a platform for the organizer of the march for science in Portland Oregon to spread the word and get the community involved. Then members of Noggin marched along side others in the community to help gain support not only for neuroscience but all science and research. Noggin also connects college and graduate students to help bring neuroscience into the classrooms of middle and high school students exposing them to professions and resources that they wouldn’t have otherwise. Noggin hosts science talks at a local bike shop to help get the community more excited about and involved in neuroscience research and science themed art. Noggin also helps connect undergraduate students to graduate students and senior scientists helping them learn more about their possible future careers and possible research experience. This creates possible new neuroscience students who are truly passionate about community involvement and education. Noggin also helps raise awareness about community concerns like how homelessness affects the brain to help gain more community support and understanding. Noggin also travels to national neuroscience conventions to help raise awareness about the importance of community education and involvement. The Noggin website is also a unique resource that helps spread information and awareness about new research and events within the neuroscience community.  Lastly Noggin helps combine art in science to help get those who may not be as scientifically inclined more interested and excited about neuroscience and science in general. \nDOWNLOAD: brains2dc-poster \nNW Noggin poster… \n \nNW Noggin: Connecting SfN outreach volunteers and schools in San Diego and DC\, GRIESAR\, W.S.*\, LEAKE\, J.*\n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) \nScience needs investment\, and engaging the public explains discoveries and builds support for education and research.

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. \nDOWNLOAD: SFN Brain Awareness campaign 2017

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. \nPresentation Number: 027.15SU\nPoster Board Number: WW46\nPresentation Time: 10:00am – 11:00am\nLocation: Walter E.

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…

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. History\, Art and Educations combined institutional access powers up our Artistic medium to engage community.” Enjoy the opportunity to create powerful collages that reflect and make visible all people who contribute to this place we call home. \nDon’t Shoot Portland SLIDES: Velo Slide Show \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…
