SUMMARY:Noggins in Gaza!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Virtual Noggin + NeuroChem Lab visit with students in the Gaza Strip \nWe did it!!\nNoggins in Gaza\n \n \nTerrific and powerful questions\n1. If someone with Alzheimers remembers something\, does the memory come back? \n2. What happens if we get hit on the back of the head\, and you lose our memory? \n3. How much time does your brain live after you die? \n4. Is your mental and physical health equally important when trying to keep your brain healthy? \n5. When we are experiencing intense stress and violence in our lives\, is there anything we can do at an individual level to help protect and support our brain? \n6. Can the brain continue to learn and develop throughout life? \n7. Regarding brain diseases (cognitive decline)\, are people aware that they have lost something\, or do they not know? \n8. Do your brain cells work when you sleep? \n9. If you are in a coma: do you feel anything around you? What happens when you wake up? \n \n \n \nWHERE: British International School\, 9835+VGG\, Aldahdooh Street\, Tel Al Hawa\, Gaza Strip VIA ZOOM (link available to participating volunteers) \nWHEN: Monday\, April 21st from 8:00am – 9:30am Pacific (6:00 – 7:30pm in Gaza); this is a follow up after our previous virtual visits on Thursday\, February 13 and Tuesday\, March 4. \n \nDuring our first two visits to BIS\, we discussed compelling student questions about the brain\, and introduced our found object brain cell project. We also shared some cells created by our Northwest Noggin volunteers. \nNoggins in Gaza\n \nLEARN MORE: Found Object Brain Cells \nFor this next visit the youth in Gaza will share their own brain cell creations\, and we’ll learn about the objects used\, and the significance and stories behind the objects chosen. \n \nWe are super excited to meet and learn with these wonderful young people again. \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1. Bill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\n2. Jeff Leake\, PSU/NW Noggin\n3. Natalie Robison\, UW\n4. Salma Nassar\, PSU/OHSU\n5. Becky Callos\, PSU\n6.

SUMMARY:Noggin in Gaza!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Virtual Noggin + NeuroChem Lab visit with students in the Gaza Strip \nWe did it!\nNoggins in Gaza\n \nA tremendous THANKS to the young students in Gaza\, whose questions about racing thoughts before bed\, fight or flight panic\, memory\, sleep\, development\, autism\, and the power of art to heal we’ll be thinking about for a long time. \nWATCH THE EVENT \nAnd thanks to everyone for joining us today and sharing your insights and knowledge of the brain! Abdulrahman I’m so glad you could join us – thank you for arranging such a wonderful opportunity. We are super-excited to return in March. We cannot wait to see the found object brain cells the students create – just loved how several were already crafting them in earnest while today’s session was underway 😅 \nSo excited to return next month!! \nWHERE: British International School\, 9835+VGG\, Aldahdooh Street\, Tel Al Hawa\, Gaza Strip VIA ZOOM (link available to participating volunteers) \nWHEN: Thursday\, February 13th from 8:00 – 9:15am Pacific (6:00 – 7:15pm in Gaza); with follow up virtual visit on Tuesday\, March 4 from 8:00 – 9:15am \n \nFrom Abdulrahman Abou Dahesh\, a Fulbright Scholar and Neuroscience Graduate Student at University of Texas at Dallas\, and the founder of Neurochem Lab: “We’ll visit BIS Gaza. Neurochem Lab has provided neuroscience programs for elementary and middle school students at BIS Gaza\, and Noggins will join as guest hosts to facilitate their found object brain cells outreach project…” \n \nLEARN MORE: Found Object Brain Cells \n“Elementary and middle school students will attend. The audience will be Palestinian students either in Gaza or those who have evacuated to Egypt…Now that a ceasefire is in place\, the children are hopeful\, and are excited to get back to learning. Yet\, the emotional impact of the war persists\, and the neuroscience activities we will provide will hopefully support them.” \n \nWe’re excited to meet with students and hear what they already know about brains and brain cells from their previous visits with Abdulrahman! We’re going to introduce neurons and glia\, both important cell types found in our brains\, and explore how they link up into networks that let us see\, hear\, feel\, understand and appreciate each other. \n \nWe’ll introduce the found object brain cell project\, and we look forward to returning to the classroom on Tuesday\, March 4\, to see and hear about the cells that students create\, and any stories behind the materials they chose. \n \nSome research background on the war \nLEARN MORE: UN Special Committee finds Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza consistent with genocide\, including use of starvation as weapon of war \nLEARN MORE: Israeli necropolitics and the pursuit of health justice in Palestine \nLEARN MORE: Unbearable suffering: mental health consequences of the October 2023 Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip \nLEARN MORE: Civilian mortality and damage to medical facilities in Gaza \nLEARN MORE: Israel’s Unfolding Crime of Genocide of the Palestinian People & U.S. Failure to Prevent and Complicity in Genocide \nThis is the current state of school buildings\, after destruction by Israeli forces with U.S. investment and weaponry 💔. As the school and neighborhood are both destroyed\, the students in Gaza will be joining us remotely from individual camps. \n \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1. Bill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\n2.

Portland State University in Portland\, OR offers a minor in interdisciplinary neuroscience\, where Noggin co-founders Dr. Bill Griesar and Jeff Leake both teach. In 2023\, we reached out to artists and STEM colleagues at the Universidad de Valparaíso Chile. Along with the PSU Education Abroad Office and Academic Programs International we created Cerebrarte\, the first international\, homestay-based STEAM program exploring the rich art and neuroscience traditions of the Valparaíso region. We brought 17 students and two faculty to Chile from July 27 – August 28\, 2023. Through visits to labs and the historic complex at Montemar\, we explored how research on the giant axons of Humboldt squid contributed to our understanding of the electrical signaling that links our perceptual and cognitive experiences to the world. We met Dr. Ramón LaTorre and Dr. Juan Saez (members of the National Academy of Sciences)\, Dr. David Naranjo\, Dr. Jesús Olivares\, Dr. John Ewer and Dr. Kate Whitlock\, and graduate students and postdocs for discussions about olfaction\, voltage-gated channels\, spider neurons and potential therapeutic compounds in boldo tea. We welcomed Kings College London neuroscientist Dr. Richard Wingate\, Editor of brainfacts.org\, the outreach arm of Society for Neuroscience\, who spoke about his 2023 book\, “The Story of the Brain in 10 ½ Cells\,” with the ½ Cell referencing the giant axon. Valpo is home to exceptional research\, and is a celebrated center of public art. Street art was legalized in 1990\, and eye-catching murales are everywhere. Students examined art with thiscatcallededdie\, explored regional museums\, created engravings (grabados)\, and sewed arpilleras\, woven depictions of challenging and sometimes traumatic experiences that allow emotional expression and create durable memories of events with artist Cecilia Araneda. We explored the neuroscience of perception\, stress and trauma as it relates to personal experience (including aspects of culture shock)\, research\, art and the 50th year since El Golpe\, the US-backed coup that violently overthrew democratically elected President Salvador Allende in 1973. The program culminated in a visit to Ciencia al Tiro\, a STEAM outreach nonprofit where we made pipe cleaner brain cells and took them to the streets to speak with residents of Playa Ancha sobre porque las neuronas son bacanes (why neurons are cool). Cerebrarte was an exciting\, interdisciplinary\, intercultural\, international experience\, and will occur again in 2025. \nLEARN MORE: Las neuronas son bacánes! \nJOIN US IN CHILE IN 2025: Valparaiso – Arte y Cerebros en Chile
