Volunteers benefit from work across disciplines and institutions\, serve as “near peer” role models\, gain skill explaining research\, and think creatively about careers. We’ve met over 30\,000 K-12 students since 2012! \n \nThere is tremendous need to develop approaches to assist academic priority K-12 students\, and offer access to social and economic benefits of education. Students struggle with academic achievement. The dropout rate for Native Americans is particularly high. Oregon has a rich Native culture and history\, yet only in 2017 did the Legislature mandate a statewide K-12 curriculum for ‘tribal history\,…sovereignty\, culture\, treaty rights\, government\, socioeconomic experiences\, and current events.’ \n \nIn 2017 we received a grant from Spirit Mountain Community Fund for outreach with tribal majority schools\, aimed at making connections between animal figures in Grande Ronde and Siletz stories and neuroscience research. \n \nIn 2018 we engaged over 300 K-12 students through brain research\, storytelling\, music and art! We spent spring 2018 collaborating with the Oregon Pacific Area Health Education Center (OPAHEC) visiting students\, teachers and staff at Siletz Valley Early College Academy\, Amity and Willamina High Schools. \n \nIn summer\, we joined award-winning Native storyteller Esther Stutzman at her annual camp in Curry County\, to hear Coos and Kalapuya tales\, and discuss relevant brain research. \n \nIn fall\, Noggin volunteers from Portland State University and OHSU\, along with Native storyteller Fish Martinez and puppeteer Ana Mello\, spent three days telling stories\, answering questions\, holding brains\, and connecting in classrooms through drumming\, music\, poetry\, research and art! \n \nIntel’s Native American Employees Network (INAN) prepared a “Noggin Brain Box” filled with outreach project instructions\, pens\, paper\, 3D printed brain models\, and pipe cleaners for crafting brain cells. OPAHEC and Noggin also brought students to OHSU for a tour of MRI imaging facilities\, to expand knowledge of clinical and research career options. \n \nBuilding excitement and awareness of discoveries\, educational options and careers through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, state\, federal and generational lines trains new scientists to collaborate\, engages more communities\, and increases awareness and support for investment in brain research and the arts. \n \n* NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org); ** Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; *** Department of University Studies\, Portland State University; **** Department of Behavioral Neuroscience\, Oregon Health & Science University \nLEARN MORE: Until the story takes shape \n  \nThe Portland State University Neuroscience Club is presenting several posters\, too\, including…\n \nDOWNLOAD: SfN-Chapter-Meeting-Club-Poster \nLEARN MORE: How can you change your brain? \nTitle: K-12 students want to learn about neuroscience! \nAuthors: Eisen\, A.\, Howard\, C.\, Benefiel\, J.\, Schmidt\, J.\, Chapek\, M.\, Lerner\, M.\, Garduno\, R.\, Uriarte-Lopez\, J.\, Hamilton\, H.\, Kiersarsky\, A.\, Sumrall\, L. \nCorrespondence: aaeisen@pdx.edu\, camd@pdx.edu\, benefiel@pdx.edu\, julis4@pdx.edu\, mchapek@pdx.edu\, mlerner@pdx.edu\, rgarduno@pdx.edu\, jru@pdx.edu\, ham28@pdx.edu\, ak36@pdx.edu\, sum5@pdx.edu; Portland State University\, P.O. Box 751\, Portland\, OR 97207-0751 \nAbstract: The Neuroscience Club at Portland State University actively works to enrich local communities with taxpayer supported neuroscience research. Our members devote their time and effort into bringing education\, art\, and enthusiasm to our community. A primary focus of our outreach is directed at K-12 public schools with the objective of giving students opportunities to interact with science in ways they might not necessarily have had. We base our outreach on open inquiry and tie in elements of philosophy for children. The students have the opportunity to guide their own learning\, which captures their enthusiasm and engagement for the subject. We have found the students maximize their learning when given the opportunity to ask open-ended questions in a supportive and understanding environment\, prompting forth questions filled with both complexity and creativity that could baffle even the most experienced neuroscientists. Students engage the world around them and through the exploration of neuroscience\, often draw upon personal experience to connect with others and stimulate thought. Through this process they can better understand themselves and the world around them. Students use the medium of art to support their understanding of advanced concepts guided by their own creativity and physical engagement with the content. Students screen-print works of neuronal art and twist pipe cleaner neurons to life\, teaching them ways to engage art with science further while enhancing their understanding of the subject in a hands-on fashion. This poster was inspired by questions collected during an outreach event at North Middle School in Grants Pass\, OR. These questions are representative of common student inquiries from all our community outreach events. Although the Neuroscience Club initially focused on students\, the club has since expanded its reach to include more diverse populations. The Neuroscience Club’s objectives include nourishing the future generation of scientists and artists whilst allowing education to be fun and engaging and have a place to flourish in diverse communities. \nSources: NW NOGGIN: Neuroscience outreach group (growing in networks) – Building networks in the community through neuroscience education and art.

SUMMARY:Noggin @ Brown: Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: “Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain” at Brown University dinner \nWHERE: Andina Restaurant\, 1314 NW Glisan St\, Portland\, OR 97209 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, April 16\, 6:00 – 8:30pm \n \nArtist Frida Kahlo survived a bus accident in 1925\, which broke her spinal column\, collarbone\, ribs\, pelvis and right leg\, crushed and dislocated her right foot\, dislocated her shoulder – and left her with terrible\, psychologically debilitating bouts of chronic pain. \nA provocative and entertaining evening at Andina restaurant featuring Bill Griesar ’87\, Ph.D\, Senior Instructor in Psychology at Portland State University and Co-Founder and Neuroscience Coordinator of NW Noggin and Jeff Leake\, M.F.A.\, artist\, PSU instructor and Co-Founder and Art Coordinator of NW Noggin. We’ll be joined by Andy Shaindlin ’86\, Vice President for Alumni Relations at Brown University. \n \nWe will explore neuroscience\, cannabis\, addiction\, pain relief\, bias in enforcement\, and public policy.  \n \nSLIDES (ppt): Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain\nSLIDES (pdf): Cannabis\, Pain\, Bias & Brain \n \nMarijuana remains a Schedule I “illicit” drug at the federal level\, and the University of Mississippi samples used for research do not reflect what Americans actually consume. \n \n\nCannabis and Cannabinoids for Chronic Pain\n\n“We found that inhaled (smoked or vaporized) cannabis is consistently effective in reducing chronic non-cancer pain. Oral cannabinoids seem to improve some aspects of chronic pain (sleep and general quality of life)\, or cancer chronic pain\, but they do not seem effective in acute postoperative pain\, abdominal chronic pain\, or rheumatoid pain. The available literature shows that inhaled cannabis seems to be more tolerable and predictable than oral cannabinoids…”\n\n\nCannabis for Chronic Pain: Challenges and Considerations\n“The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine has found substantial evidence that cannabis (plant) is effective for the treatment of chronic pain in adults\, and moderate evidence that oromucosal cannabinoids (extracts\, especially nabiximols) improve short-term sleep disturbances in chronic pain. The paradoxical superiority of the cannabis plant over cannabinoid molecules represents a challenge for the medical community and the established processes that define modern pharmacy…”\nCannabinoids and Pain: New Insights From Old Molecules\n“Recent meta-analyses of clinical trials that have examined the use of medical cannabis in chronic pain present a moderate amount of evidence that cannabis/cannabinoids exhibit analgesic activity\, especially in neuropathic pain…” \n \n\nLEARN MORE: Marijuana legalization means fewer opioid deaths \nLEARN MORE: Listening to testimony at p:ear

SUMMARY:Noggin @ OHSU Brain Awareness lecture: Katie Witkiewitz
DESCRIPTION:Good vibes only: Treating addiction with mindfulness\n \n\nMAY 6\, 2019\nKatie Witkiewitz\, Ph.D.\nProfessor of Psychology\, University of New Mexico \nShe did it! New post here..! \nPower to Choose: Mindfulness & Addiction\n \nAll Brain Awareness Lectures take place at:\nThe Newmark Theatre\, 1111 SW Broadway\, Portland\nand begin at 7:00 p.m. \n \n\nPLEASE NOTE: NW Noggin volunteers expected for set up at 5:30pm! \n\nCan using mindfulness and meditation techniques help people reduce the intake of harmful substances and prevent relapse? Come hear about intriguing new scientific data on mindfulness and brain stimulation in addiction recovery. \n \nDr. Katie Witkiewitz is a Regents’ Professor of Psychology at the University of New Mexico with a joint appointment at the Center on Alcoholism\, Substance Abuse\, and Addictions. The underlying theme of her research is the development of empirically-based models of addiction\, with an emphasis on applying advanced quantitative research methods to better understand changes in addictive behavior over time. Dr. Witkiewitz is also a licensed clinical psychologist and has worked extensively on the development of a theoretical model of biopsychosocial influences on alcohol and drug relapse. This research has led to her collaborative work on the development and evaluation of mindfulness-based relapse prevention for addiction. She has conducted numerous empirical studies on the prediction of alcohol and drug relapse following treatment for substance use disorders\, mechanisms of successful alcohol treatment outcomes\, as well as the development of interventions to treat addiction. Her research has been supported by grants from the National Institute on Mental Health\, the National Institute on Drug Abuse\, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Cancer Institute\, totaling over $20 million in research funding since 2004. \nDr. Witkiewitz was born in Rochester\, New York\, and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the State University of New York at Potsdam in 1999. She completed a Masters of Arts degree at the University of Montana in 2000 and her doctoral degree at the University of Washington in 2005 under the direction of Dr. G. Alan Marlatt. Todate\, she has authored five books\, over 175 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters\, and she has given over 75 presentations and invited talks. \n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.

SUMMARY:MARCH FOR SCIENCE 2019!
DESCRIPTION:“Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is…delving in.” –Sally Ride \nWHAT: March for Science PDX 2019 \nWe did it! \nSEE MORE AT THE LINK!! \nBrains to the Streets!\n \nSo many people asking questions\, inspired by young scientists\, holding brains! \n \nHmmm…this is no longer a free\, accessible\, exuberant outdoor March\, but an indoor “Science Fest\,” with admission charges (!). We won’t formally attend\, as there is limited access\, and less focus on important policy implications of publicly funded research… \n \nBut we think a little “guerrilla neuroscience” might be fun..!  \nSo today we’ll take to the streets with the Noggin Cart… \n \n…and answer any questions people have about brains..! \n \n“I want to speak to people directly as much as possible.” –Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez \nA March for Science should not be a paywalled\, privileged-access event.  \n \nSo much to explore\, learn\, make and apply! \nLet’s connect with our community\, and openly explore policy implications of neuroscience research on (for example) 1. sleep and school start times\, 2. homelessness\, mental health\, policing\, youth incarceration\, immigration and government-sanctioned family separation\, bias\, dehumanized perception\, child development and brains\, 3. drugs and federal drug scheduling\, 4. vaccines and preventable diseases  –  and a host of other critical topics where science can have a positive impact on us all! \n \nPhoto above by Jordan Ray: No tuition\, no admission  –  your tax dollars already pay for research… \nWHERE: Meet at University of Oregon Portland\, 70 Northwest Couch Street\, Portland OR 97209 \nWHEN: Saturday\, May 11\, 2019\, 1-1:30pm (we’ll gather then) – 4pm \nIt’s going to be HOT\, so we’ll bring plenty of water! Bring extra\, too! \n \nWhats the matter\nWhats the matter\nAll I ask is why be afraid of this world\n–Catie Curtis \n \nLEARN MORE: MARCH FOR SCIENCE GLOBAL \n \nWe’re bringing our new 3D printed WOOD brain! \n \nLEARN MORE: Make + Think + Code \nTAKE ACTION\n \n \n \n \nCheck out MORE photos from past\, FREE public science marches…\n \nMarches aimed at supporting scientific research\, education and outreach\, asking questions\, holding brains\, making art  –  & calling unabashedly for evidence-based research to inform public policy! (We ❤️ this mission) \n \nAnd happily this month\, there are genuine\, paywall-free Marches for Science taking place in New York City\, and a host of other cities around the world..! \n \nSee what we’ve done at March for Science in past years… \nGray Matter Marching\n \nSynapsing for Science!\n \nPARTICIPANTS\nIsabella Maranghi\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\nChanel Carlascio\, PSU\nCam Howard\, PSU\nSulema Rodriguez\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\nMichael Deveney\, PSU\nNathali May\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\nDylan Smith\, PSU\nAngela Hendrix\, NW Noggin\nViolet Hendrix\, NW Noggin\nJason Blume\, PSU\nAaron Eisen\, PSU Neuro Club\nSai Kiersarsky\, PSU Neuro Club\nKatie Werth\, PSU Psi Chi\nGwen Starck\, PSU\nJoey Seuferling\, NW Noggin \nPLEASE NOTE: We understand that “Science Fest” used images of Noggin outreach to promote their paywalled event.

SUMMARY:Noggin @ OHSU Brain Awareness lecture: Anthony Bossis
DESCRIPTION:Magic mushrooms: Easing depression and anxiety at end of life\n \n\nMAY 20\, 2019 \nAnthony P. Bossis\, Ph.D.\nClinical Assistant Professor of Psychology\, NYU Langone Health \nNEW POST! Discover more at the link… \n \nA less self-centered and more creative life\n \n\nAll Brain Awareness Lectures take place at:\nThe Newmark Theatre\, 1111 SW Broadway\, Portland\nand begin at 7:00 p.m. \n\nPLEASE NOTE: NW Noggin volunteers expected for set up at 5:30pm! \n \nCould the ancient practice of using psychedelic compounds for insight and healing have a legitimate and safe role in today’s health care? For many people\, receiving a fatal diagnosis leads to psychological suffering\, including anxiety and depression. Discover the intriguing implications of psilocybin-facilitated experiences in offering a sense of connection\, meaning and transcendence at the end of life. \nAnthony P. Bossis\, Ph.D.\, conducts FDA-approved clinical trials in the reemerging field of psychedelic research. He is a clinical psychologist and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine investigating the effects of psilocybin\, a naturally occurring compound found in specific species of mushrooms. Dr. Bossis was director of palliative care research\, co-principal investigator\, and session guide on the 2016 landmark clinical trial showing a significant reduction in psychological distress along with enhanced existential well-being from a single psilocybin-generated mystical experience in persons with cancer. He is also lead investigator on a trial evaluating psilocybin-generated mystical experience upon religious leaders. Subjective features of a mystical experience include unity\, sacredness\, transcendence\, and a greater awareness of deeply felt positive emotions including that of love. \nDr. Bossis is a supervisor of psychotherapy at NYU-Bellevue Hospital Center and co-founder and former co-director of the Bellevue Hospital Palliative Care Service. He has a long-standing interest in comparative religion\, consciousness research\, and the interface of psychology and spirituality. He maintains a private psychotherapy practice in NYC. \n \nMushrooms On The Mind\, cut paper assemblage by Kim Hamblin \nWe’re bringing another 27 NW Noggin volunteers!! \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\n1.

Lee and Jiang Peiyuan\, at the opening for the “Three Lines” exhibit at the Ying Gallery in Beijing on August 24. \n \nRed Crowned Crane  56X36cm oil on wood\, 2019\, by Jeff Leake \n \nFrom Jeff: “One theme that runs through much of my work is the difference between the intended message of the stories and symbols we we use to convey cultural ideals\, and how we really interact with our environment and each other. This group of paintings is\, to varying degrees influenced by my experience here in China\, and in a general sense can be seen as a reflection on the complexity of cultural interactions.” \n \nEasel painters 50×29 cm oil on wood\, 2019\, by Jeff Leake \n“While I have particular things I am thinking while making these\, I am always interested to hear the stories that viewers come up with\, as such these panels are cut into stylized cloud shapes conveying the notion that what we see in the clouds often reveals something true about ourselves.” \n \nIf your brain is in Beijing this summer\, you are hugely welcome to drop by the Ying Gallery\, see art and speak with Jeff\, Jamie and Jiang..! Learn more about Jamie and Jiang’s work below. The exhibition runs through September 30… \n \nJamie M. Lee received her BA in printmaking and painting from the University of California\, Santa Cruz and an MFA in Painting from Claremont Graduate University in USA. Last year\, she obtained a PhD in Painting\, Fine Art from Hongik University in Seoul\, South Korea. \n \nFrom Jamie: “My intent is to create an emotional language of abstract painting and mixed media installation\, using a rich vocabulary of imagery that emerges from personal memories and dreams. My work evolves without sketches or preconceived designs\, which results in a spontaneous and forceful effect. The images are then transferred on canvas as a story between reality and the subconscious.” \n \nJiang Peiyuan Graduated from Chelsea college of art in UAL with MA in Fine Art. Jiang Peiyuan has been widely selected of numerous awards and artist residencies including Swatch Art Peace Hotel residency in Shanghai (2019)\, Chris Wainwright Award in Beijing Today Art Museum(2012)\, JohnMoores Painting Prize 2012 (China)\, Bloomberg New contemporaries (2009)\, Jerwood Drawing Prize (2009)\, Whisper Residency in Chinese Art Cerntre Manchester (2009)\, BP young artist award in National Portrait gallery (2008)\, He has been widely exhibitied in many museums including AMNUA\, Nanjing. Today art museum\, Beijing.  shanghai oil painting & sculpture institute. National Portrait Gallery\, London. Wolverhampton Art Gallery\, Wolverhampton. Aberdeen Art Gallery\, Scotland. Aberystwyth Arts Centre\,Welsh. \n \nJiang Peiyuan’s latest works use acrylic paint and acrylic medium to explore painting both as materials and themes. His practice emphasizes the materiality of paint and the process of image making\, which integrates the concepts of painting\, printmaking and sculpture.

We’re thinking about drawing brains  –  the brains we’ll bring\, our own brains as we see them\, what we might like them to be\, and/or how we think others see them. \n \nLater in the year we hope to share some of these works with public high school students\, get their impressions\, and offer them an opportunity to draw their own brains too  –  and then return both the art and student responses to youth at MacLaren. \n \nThe HOPE Partnership is providing pens\, markers and paper for drawing\, and we’ll bring along pipe cleaners\, nitrile gloves\, extra noggins and plenty of grads\, post-docs and undergrads who study the brain… \n \nLearn more about NW Noggin at MacLaren at these links… \nAll is in motion\, is growing\, is you\n \nLEARN MORE: Youth get visual\, hands-on experience with the brain \nCorrections\, Bias & Brains\n \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\nBill Griesar\, NW Noggin\, PSU\, OHSU\nJeff Leake\, NW Noggin\, PSU\nGail Stonebarger\, OHSU\nAaron Eisen\, National University of Natural Medicine\nMichael Deveney\, PSU\nCam Howard\, PSU\nTaylor Stewart\, University of Portland\nSai Kiersarsky\, PSU\nAli Mirzazadeh Javaheri\, PSU\nHeather Hamilton\, OHSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\nArielle Isakharov\, OHSU\nEvan Segura\, Portland Community College\nSara Moreno\, PSU\nTracy Gomez\, PSU\nMaria Galvan-Bravo\, PSU/NIH BUILD EXITO\nMar Borrego\, OHSU
