SUMMARY:Noggins @ JumpStart in Gresham/Barlow Schools!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: NW Noggin @ JumpStart U program in Gresham Barlow Public Schools! \nWe did it!\nLEARN MORE: Gresham Cool\n \n \n \n \n“That was wonderful! Kids were saying ‘it’s so cool\, it’s so creepy!’ and ‘I want a job where I get to research brains!’\nReally inspiring – please come back!”\nWHERE: Center for Advanced Learning\, 1484 NW Civic Dr\, Gresham\, OR 97030 \nWHEN: Wednesday\, August 18\, 10:00am – 12:30pm LIVE \n**OUTDOORS\, and all participants must be MASKED\, VACCINATED \n \nFrom Liz Maki\, Director of Career Pathways\n“JumpStart U 9th grade camp is a part of the 9th Grade Counts work across the county. The goal of this camp is the give students a jump start into high school by awarding the students .5 credits for completion of the camp. Camp recruitment targets students who are at risk of not completing high school for a variety of reasons. Students who participate in this camp not only benefit from the credit but also the connections to high school staff and other students that they will see next year. Career exploration is the tool the camp uses to create engagement and to apply skills the students will need in high school.” \nWhat I hope students get from NW Noggin:\n“I believe students will be highly engaged and motivated to learn about their most valuable asset\, their brains. To me\, this is one of the greatest pieces of this partnership. My other hope is that the volunteers can speak with the students about their own particular career path; why they chose it\, what it looks like\, how to get into that career\, etc.” \nCome join us!\nWe’ll have some exciting new human brain specimens to share in Gresham too! \n \nLEARN MORE: Cross-Country Noggins! \nPlease RSVP to bgriesar@nwnoggin.org and jleake@nwnoggin.org \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1. Bill Griesar\, NW Noggin/PSU/OHSU\n2. Jeff Leake\, NW Noggin/PSU\n3. Mack Carlisle\, PNCA/Pacific/UMass-Amherst graduate\n4. Roman Cimkovich\, PSU\n5. Sarah Holden\, OHSU\n6. Michael Deveney\, PSU\n7. Andrea Rano\, NIH BUILD EXITO/PSU\n8. Jessie Sheeran\, PSU\n9. Alex Heinrich\, PSU\n10. Robert Cummings\, Colby College \nShould be a LOT cooler than our outreach visit to Hillsboro last week! \nLEARN MORE at the link below 🙂 \nHillsboro Heat

SUMMARY:Noggin @ NAEOP Conference
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin presents: Forward thinking about STEAM  –  with (actual) BRAINS @ Northwest Association of Educational Opportunity Programs (NAEOP) conference! \nWe did it!\n\nThreshold through TRIO\n\n \n \n \nWHERE: Hilton Bellevue Hotel\, 300 112th Ave SE\, Bellevue\, WA 98004; Kirkland \nWHEN: Monday\, October 18\, 10:15 – 11:30am \n \n \n \nNW Noggin is honored to present LIVE at the NAEOP conference this year on our extensive volunteer STEM + Arts collaborations with TRIO and other community programs! \n \nForward Thinking about STEAM\nHow do we inspire students? Brains let us perceive\, think and behave\, and discoveries in neuroscience offer actionable\, compelling information about who we are and how we function. Going where you are surprised and challenged by new circumstances and perspectives drives motivating engagement\, as does making art. During these moments our brains are changeable and open to new ideas. Nonprofit Northwest Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. We bring volunteers excited by research into urban and rural K-12 public schools\, correctional facilities\, Congress\, houseless youth centers\, coffee shops\, and pubs to hear what people already know and what they’d like to know\, and see where our stories and discoveries from labs and classrooms intersect. We’ve met 50\,000 people since 2012! Discover what we’ve learned\, craft your own cells\, and examine real brain specimens up close. \n \nCheck out our most recent collaboration with TRIO on the North Oregon coast! \nViking\, Shark\, Fishermen & Bandit Brains!\n \nOver four days in October\, we took questions\, discussed neuroscience research\, poked brains and made original neurons and glia at public schools in Astoria and Seaside! \n \nSLIDES: NAEOP Slides FINAL (pdf) \nSLIDES: NAEOP Slides FINAL (ppt)

SUMMARY:Noggins @ Sunnyside LIVE!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: NW Noggin @ Sunnyside Environmental School \nWe did it!\nHow to visit public schools\n \n \nWHERE: Sunnyside Environmental School\, 3421 SE Salmon St\, Portland\, OR 97214 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, October 26\, 9:45am – noon (arrival and set up @ 9:45am; first class 10 – 10:50am; second class 11 – 11:50am) and again on Thursday (10/28) \nEveryone outdoors\, fully vaccinated and properly masked. \nContacts: Asa Gervich and Jeremy Thomas\, 4th grade teachers \n \nWe are thrilled to return LIVE to Jeremy and Asa’s lively classrooms this fall! We’ll make two visits\, on Tuesday (10/26) and Thursday (10/28) to consider faces and the brain. We’ll examine faces\, make faces\, draw faces\, consider faces in art and explore how we share our own unique brains through expression. \n \nBut we’ll also make brain cells and consider AMAZING questions from 4th graders!\nFrom 4th Grade Teacher Asa Gervich: \nOver the past weeks\, students have learned about the interplay between their prefrontal cortex\, hippocampus\, and amygdala – and how mindfulness practices can help us self-regulate. Last week\, we learned about the Reticular Activating System – and how it can help us sift through myriad sensory inputs to focus on something important – like\, how does an NBA player tune out all the zany free-throw distractions happening in the stands? Or\, what role did the RAS play in about half of our class not spotting the gorilla in this video? What’s going on with our RAS when we listen to music and can isolate one particular instrument? Can everyone do that? We were thinking that visit #2 would be an awesome time to bring out the brain specimens (give them something to look forward to after visit #1). And\, Jeremy put in a vote for that super cool electrical-impulse station if you guys are still doing that… \n \nSome current kid wonderings: \nIf parts of the brain are damaged or lose function\, how does that impact how the body works?\nIs the brain actually pink? Why?\nWhich is more important\, the brain or the heart?\nHow was Albert Einstein’s brain different from other people’s?\nIf two people were born at the exact time\, and they liked the exact same stuff\, and thought the same things at the same time – how would their brains be different? Would their brains be different?\nHow many neural pathways are there in your brain? \n \nCan neural pathways be rebuilt or repaired? \nIs your brain like your immune system? \nYou know how your fingerprints are unique to you – I wonder if your brain is the same way – is everyone’s completely unique\nWhen someone experiences a failure of either brain or heart (or both) and they survive it – how does that happen?\nPerhaps the number of pathways is infinite – because you can always learn new things…\nIf you have learned how to do a thing through mistake-making\, and then you had some brain damage\, would you be starting from step one to be learning that thing? Would you need to make all those mistakes all over again?\nWhat’s going on with people who have amnesia? Do people ever get amnesia so bad that they don’t know who they are anymore? \nLook forward to seeing you all soon! \n \nCOMMITTED VOLUNTEERS \n\nBill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\nJeff Leake\, PSU/NW Noggin\nElana Kananykhina\, PSU\nBritta Harbury\, PSU\nArielle Isakharov\, OHSU\nTheresa Vu\, PSU\nAaron Eisen\, OHSU\nLevi Banks\, PSU\n\n \nSEE WHAT WE DID AT SUNNYSIDE BEFORE AND DURING COVID 🦠 \nThank You Northwest Noggin!\n \nNeurons in Minecraft & More!\n \nA crayon in Homer’s brain\n \nWhat about the glia?

S. GRIESAR 1\,2\,4\, J. J. LEAKE 1\,3;\n1Northwest Noggin\, Portland\, OR; 2Psychology/Neuroscience\, 3Univ. Studies\, Portland State Univ.\, Portland\, OR; 4Behavioral Neurosci.\, OHSU\, Portland\, OR \nAbstract:\nOur brains are home to billions of cells that reach out and connect. 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!

SUMMARY:PSU Neuro Club: Interdisciplinary Neuroscience!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: The Portland State University Neuroscience Club hosts a panel discussion on Interdisciplinary Neuroscience! \nWHERE: ONLINE ZOOM ID 874 4057 4772 \nWHEN: Thursday\, February 10\, 2022\, 6:30pm Pacific \n \nWhat is Interdisciplinary Neuroscience?\n \nInterdisciplinary neuroscience explores the relationship between our brains and behavior from multiple perspectives\, including psychology\, biology\, speech and hearing sciences\, social science\, systems science\, direct community engagement and the arts. \nMemory\, attention\, perception\, language\, feeling\, and decision making in social contexts all depend on brain structure and function. People in this field examine how the underlying physiology of the nervous system relates to individuals’ psychological and behavioral processes. \nThose with training in interdisciplinary neuroscience can pursue a variety of careers. Many individuals\, particularly with graduate training\, may conduct research in both laboratory and clinical settings\, and work in academic\, business\, healthcare\, art and policy making environments. \nEXPLORE: Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Minor @ Portland State University\nCourses and requirements from the PSU Bulletin \n \nHow did we get a minor?\nSTEAM Ahead: A new interdisciplinary neuroscience minor at Portland State! \n \nPSU students have a long-standing passion for brains and have sought many opportunities to enrich their neuroscience education as undergraduates. They’ve studied the intricacies of both brain and behavior in psychology and biology courses\, worked in labs at OHSU\, participated in the NIH BUILD EXITO and McNair scholars programs\, presented research at the Society for Neuroscience\, brought learning outside college classrooms via the active PSU Neuroscience Club and let knowledge serve our Northwest community through interdisciplinary neuroscience outreach as volunteers with the non-profit NW Noggin.

SUMMARY:Noggin + SciComm @ Kings!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin + Comms Sci undergraduates @ Kings! \nWe did it!\n \nWonderful questions from students!! \nHow do you handle the more controversial topics in science? \nCan you offer an example of how you’d specifically integrate music into your outreach? \nI’m so intrigued by where you go. How do you make these connections with different communities? \nI love that you go places for outreach\, and don’t rely on bringing people to campus (what you called “in-reach”). How do you avoid upsetting some of the more senior faculty who aren’t always comfortable with change? \nWhat sort of institutional support do you receive for this wonderful work? \n \nFrom Leigh Wilson\, Public Engagement Manager\, MRC Centre for Neurodevelopmental Disorders\, Centre for Developmental Neurobiology\, Kings College London: “We just wanted to extend our huge thanks for coming along and sharing amazing work\, experiences\, and philosophies with the students today. It was brilliant to hear your journey and the students (and us) were totally inspired hearing about your programmes and ideas. All best and thank you so much again for taking the time to come to King’s.” \nWHERE: Centre for Developmental Neurobiology\, Institute of Psychiatry\, Psychology & Neuroscience\, New Hunt’s House\, Guy’s Campus\, King’s College London\, London SE1 1UL\, United Kingdom \n \nThe discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 was enabled by Dr Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray diffraction work at King’s. This metal model stands in the entrance of The Centre for Developmental Neurobiology. \nWHEN: Wednesday\, March 9\, 10:45am – 11:30pm GMT \n \nWe’re excited to meet with Comms sci undergraduates at Kings College London to share interests and experiences in innovative\, evidence-based community outreach! \n \nWe’ll be at King’s the day before too! \nDETAILS: Noggin in LONDON @ Kings!\n \nLEARN MORE: Noggins & Kings

Studies\, Portland State Univ.\, Portland\, OR; 4Behavioral Neurosci.\, OHSU\, Portland\, OR \n \nOur brains are home to billions of cells that reach out and connect. 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. \n \nNonprofit 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 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 more than 50\,000 people since 2012! \n \nIn 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\, Hawaii and Europe\, 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. \n \nA 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 interdisciplinary 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!

TRIO providing transport\, housing\, meals 🙂 \n \n \nArt and Brains: Collaborating with Community for Future Success\n(the conference theme is “Back to the Future” 🥴🚀) \n \nHow do we inspire students? Brains let us perceive\, think and behave\, and discoveries in neuroscience offer actionable\, compelling information about who we are and how we function. Going where you are surprised and challenged by new circumstances and perspectives drives motivated engagement\, as does making art. During these moments our brains are changeable and open to new ideas. Nonprofit Northwest Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate\, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. We bring volunteers excited by research into urban and rural K-12 public schools\, 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 see where our stories and discoveries from labs and classrooms intersect. We’ve met 50\,000 people since 2012! Discover what we’ve learned\, craft your own cells and examine real brain specimens up close. \n \nDRAFT SLIDES (PPT): TRIO Slides DRAFT \nDRAFT SLIDES (PDF): TRIO Slides DRAFT \nSLIDES (PPT) TRIO-Slides-final \nSLIDES (PDF) TRIO-Slides-final \nCheck out our recent collaborations with TRIO: \nAn Axonal Alliance\n \n\nThreshold through TRIO\n\n \nViking\, Shark\, Fishermen & Bandit Brains!
