SUMMARY:SfN ABSTRACTS DUE!
DESCRIPTION:Abstracts for the annual Society for Neuroscience (SfN) conference are DUE Thursday\, May 3 by 5pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)… \n \nLEARN MORE: Call for Abstracts \nSEE WHAT WE DID LAST TIME IN SAN DIEGO…  \nA network grows in San Diego\n \nNW Noggin is submitting an abstract for the conference\, which is scheduled for November 3 – 7 in San Diego\, California. An evolving draft version is below… \n \nNW Noggin:  homelessness and the brain – seeing us all through research and art \nGRIESAR\, W.S.* **\, LEAKE\, J.* ** *** \n“It’s like people see me as an object\, not as a human being.” \nScience needs investment\, and engaging people builds support for research and education. Integrating arts in STEM (“STEAM”) fosters innovative engagement. Here we report on efforts to bring together new researchers and outreach volunteers\, clinicians\, policy makers and\, as equal participants\, young members of our community who lack safe\, secure places to call home. \n \nNonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes graduates and undergraduates to collaborate and engage\, building networks and inspiring people about discovery in neuroscience and art. Volunteers benefit from working across disciplines and institutions\, serving as “near peer” role models\, gaining skill explaining work and thinking creatively about careers. We’ve met with over 20\,000 K-12 students since 2012! \n \nNoggin loves to visit p:ear\, a nonprofit for homeless youth. P:ear offers community\, services\, and a welcoming educational and gallery space in Portland\, Oregon\, filled with caring staff and volunteers for young people without safe places to sleep. \n \nWe’ve had powerful conversations with adolescents struggling to overcome drugs\, anxiety\, depression\, abandonment\, bias  –  and a strong sense that many people pass them by as if they weren’t valuable human members of our community. \n \nHarris & Fiske (2006) found that people respond harshly to those in “extreme outgroups\,” including those without homes. These street kids are correct  –  some respond to them with “dehumanized perception.” Yet by asking subjects to engage with images of outgroup members\, there is more activation of frontal lobe networks essential for responding to others as relatable human beings. Young people at p:ear created landscapes on plaster brain casts that powerfully conveyed their feelings\, significant locations\, and both actual and aspirational aspects of their lives in our shared community. \n \nIn fall 2017\, we put on a “Homelessness and the Brain” day at p:ear\, and policy makers\, clinicians\, members of the public\, young researchers from OHSU and PSU and houseless youth talked\, listened and learned from each other about research on stress\, anxiety\, depression\, sleep\, emotional regulation\, drugs\, development\, bias and resilience\, and explored data\, art and testimony from p:ear youth to illuminate links between a lack of affordable housing and all our brains. \n \nLEARN MORE: Landscapes of the Brain: Seeing us all through research & art \nBuilding excitement and awareness of discoveries in neuroscience through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, state\, federal and generational lines trains new scientists to collaborate on important community concerns\, and increases awareness and support for investment in brain research and the arts. \n \n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University;  ** NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org);  *** Department of University Studies\, Portland State University \n

SUMMARY:Velo Cult: The Secrets of Parkinson's & Dance
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: What do mistakes teach us? @ Velo Cult with Rebecca Hood\, Behavioral Neuroscience\, OHSU and Krystal Ngene\, Danielle Ali-Cassim\, and 20 dancers from the Kúkátónón African Children’s Dance Troupe \nWe did it! LEARN MORE at the link! \nParkinson’s\, Dance & Mistakes\n \n \nWHERE: Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42nd Ave\, Portland\, OR 97213 \nWHEN: Wednesday\, May 2\, 2018\, 6:00pm – 8:00pm \n \nMistakes are essential to learning in research and dance.  \nDiscover the role of error in acquiring skills\, and advancing both science and art with Rebecca Hood of OHSU and brilliant performers from the Kúkátónón African Children’s Dance Troupe! \nAll the inventions that the world contains\,\nWere not by reason first found out\, nor brains;\nBut pass for theirs who had the luck to light\nUpon them by mistake or oversight. \n–Samuel Butler \nScientists aren’t perfect\, as much as they’d like to be. The mistakes that researchers make aren’t usually mentioned in the papers they produce\, leaving out a valuable (and often huge) part of the story. From a botched brain surgery that revolutionized the way we understand Parkinson’s disease to the discovery of anesthesia\, join us as we talk about mistakes in science and the discoveries that can come from them. \n“While music alone can unlock people with parkinsonism\, and movement or exercise of any kind is also beneficial\, an ideal combination of music and movement is provided by dance (and dancing with a partner\, or in a social setting\, brings to bear other therapeutic dimensions).” – Oliver Sacks \n \nLearning to dance involves extensive trial and error\, exquisite timing\, and trains some of the same brain networks involved in acquiring other fluid skills\, networks also impacted by Parkinson’s.  \n \nLEARN MORE: Basal ganglia @ Beaumont! \nKúkátónón’s mission is to inspire confidence\, commitment and vitality among the children in the dance troupe\, their families and communities; and to broaden awareness of African and African American cultural traditions throughout Oregon. Our Troupe performs to West African rhythms through song\, instrument and dance. \nUpcoming Events: \nPublic African Dance Workshop on Saturday\, May 12th from 1:30-3pm at Peninsula Community Center  \nPartner with the Pan African Festival on Aug 11\, 2018 \nKukatonon End of Year Show – June 9th \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…

Integrating arts in STEM (“STEAM”) fosters innovative engagement. We excited thousands of K-12 students\, scientists\, policy makers and the public about research and art during the 2017 Society for Neuroscience conference in Washington\, DC. \n \nLEARN MORE: From classrooms to Congress! \nNonprofit NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate and engage\, building networks and inspiring academic priority students and the public about discovery in neuroscience and art. Volunteers leave classrooms and labs\, and benefit from connecting across disciplines and institutions\, serving as “near peer” role models\, gaining skill explaining work and thinking creatively about careers. We’ve met with over 20\,000 K-12 students since 2012! \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin Bloggin \nIn fall of 2017\, 21 Noggin volunteers attended the Society for Neuroscience conference in DC. SfN provided complimentary registration\, the Portland State University Neuroscience Club and NIH BUILD EXITO funded outreach supplies and travel for 8 PSU participants\, while OHSU covered travel for their 5. The remaining 8 (4 from PSU\, 4 from WSU) were supported by NW Noggin\, along with housing for all 21\, partly through money raised at Noggin Fest\, a student-run celebration of research\, music and art at Portland’s Alberta Rose Theater. \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin Fest 2017! \nDuring a week in DC\, in partnership with the American Brain Coalition\, SfN\, and the Phillips Collection\, we worked with 750 students at Turner Elementary and Sidwell Friends. We staffed a popular “Art of Neuroscience” booth at SfN\, and presented our volunteers\, research\, and evidence of outreach effectiveness to the U.S. House Neuroscience and STEAM caucuses at a “Noggin Briefing with Brains\, Art & Ice Cream\,” as we did previously in 2016. Three of the four caucus co-chairs represent Northwest districts we’ve visited before. At the briefing\, co-sponsored by PSU\, OHSU\, the p:ear homeless youth center and the Portland Art Museum\, we examined human cerebrums\, discussed research\, and crafted pipe cleaner neurons with two House members and more than 80 Congressional staff. \n \nBuilding excitement and awareness of discoveries in neuroscience through arts-integrated outreach across institutional\, state\, federal and generational lines trains diverse new scientists to collaborate and communicate\, and increases awareness and support for further investment in brain research and the arts. \n \nDepartment of Psychology\, Portland State University; NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org)

SUMMARY:Noggin Brain Board meeting
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin Brain Board meeting \nWHERE: County Cork\, 1329 NE Fremont St\, Portland\, OR 97212 \nWHEN: Saturday\, March 24\, 2018\, 6:00pm – 7:30pm \nThe Noggin Brain Board (Jeff Leake\, President; John Harkness\, Vice President (absent); Bill Griesar\, Treasurer; Kindra Crick\, Board Secretary) MET at the County Cork on Saturday (3/24) to discuss progress and plans for more innovative arts integrated outreach in the Pacific Northwest… \n \nLEARN MORE ABOUT THE BRAIN BOARD \nSince our Board retreat in February\, 2017\, Noggin has visited more than 80 public schools\, homeless youth centers\, conferences\, galleries and bike shop pubs\, reaching more than 5000 new academic priority K-12 students and members of the public (including members of Congress) with brains\, art and enthusiastic outreach volunteers..! \n \nFrom this morning’s Women in STEM event: Noggin inspires 🙂 \nBrain Board members Jeff Leake and Bill Griesar organized and attended every visit\, and Bill wrote detailed posts about each one\, which are available here… \n \nNOGGIN BLOGGIN\n \nJeff and Bill also arranged (joyously!) for volunteers to present at their first conferences\, including the Society for Neuroscience – both the Oregon Chapter (where Bill serves as the PSU Representative)\, and at the national conference in Washington\, DC. They brought Noggin volunteers into Congressional offices on Capitol Hill to advocate for investment in research and education\, and to p:ear\, a homeless youth drop in center for a day long public session on “Homelessness & the Brain.” They traveled to Street 14 Cafe in Astoria to discuss caffeine and the brain\, to La Grande\, Heppner\, Ione\, Sheridan\, Amity\, Willamina and Siletz Valley\, Oregon for multi-day outreach visits in rural districts\, and to the Oregon Arts Education conference in Wilsonville for demonstrations of arts integration in STEM. \n \n“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit\, or it is nowhere.” –Ursula K. Le Guin \nIn fall\, 2017\, Bill and Jeff enthusiastically encouraged volunteers to organize and present the inaugural Noggin Fest\, a public extravaganza featuring graduate and postdoctoral research presentations\, science-inspired art works\, and live music. Board members Kindra Crick and Jeff organized the art auction and Board member John Harkness served as the emcee. This well-attended event at the Alberta Rose Theater raised enough money to send 15 PSU undergraduates\, and four from WSU to present multiple posters and run a popular “Art of Neuroscience” booth at the Society for Neuroscience conference in DC\, work with over 750 local K-12 students\, present on innovative outreach to the House Neuroscience and STEAM caucuses and tour the Cajal exhibit and additional science-related art at the NIH. Noggin was awarded a 2018 “Out of the Ordinary” Juice award by the Regional Arts & Culture Council for giving “children a unique opportunity to learn about neuroscience and the brain using nontraditional\, artistic methods that make the information more accessible and impactful.” \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin Fest 2017 \nLEARN MORE: From Classrooms to Congress \nLEARN MORE: Ten Ways to Support the Arts (& Science!) \nNoggin raised thousands of dollars in grants from diverse sources\, including Noggin Fest ($7000)\, the Spirit Mountain Community Fund ($5000)\, the Society for Neuroscience (complimentary conference registration for 18 students)\, and the Portland Alcohol Research Center at OHSU ($5000 in supplies) to run our free programs for diverse academic priority K-12 students\, and introduce them to the study of their own brains and behavior. \n \nLEARN MORE: Synapses & Stories \nDiscussions focused on Board communication\, Board member responsibilities\, expanding and/or changing the Board\, current financial status\, and plans for future outreach activities\, including the upcoming March for Science on April 14\, and possible connections in China (congrats to Jeff on winning the Arte Laguna Prize!)… \n \nIn it for the awe\, student support and service. Educators and innovators at heart. No academic or administrative agenda\, no more of the same\, no roll up costs or fancy lifetime tenure. We thoroughly enjoy making connections and communicating neuroscience & art 🙂

SUMMARY:VELO CULT: Sleep\, School & Surrealism
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Sleep\, School & Surrealism @ Velo Cult with Emily Weiss\, Psychology\, Portland State University and Jamaali Roberts\, PNCA \nWHERE: Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42nd Ave\, Portland\, OR 97213 \n\nWHEN: Thursday\, March 1\, 6 – 8pm \nThey did it! Learn more at this link…\nBlack Art\, School & Dreams: Exquisite corpses @ Velo\n \n \n \nHow critical is sleep for young brains? Little kids transitioning to school need to manage their thoughts\, feelings\, and actions\, and theory suggests that sufficient sleep is essential. How does a lack of sleep affect kindergarteners and young children\, and impact their development of self-regulation skills? How do racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequities relate to how well\, and how long kids sleep? \nEmily focuses on applied research\, taking science out of the lab into real classrooms and home environments that children navigate every day. Learn about current research on sleep\, self-regulation\, and classroom contexts among low-income\, African-American kindergarteners. \n \nDetail of “Created on their likeness\,” mixed media on canvas by Jamaali Roberts \nJamaali is a multi-faceted painter using different mediums to rethink how Black culture is represented in American society. Jamaali will lead an art and storytelling time. After a brief introduction to African American collage artists\, he will guide the audience to create two craft projects around the idea of “sleep” and “rest.” While they create\, he will use his African drums and percussion to tell stories from his own surreal dream adventures and enlightening sleep meditations. Participants will leave with a better understanding of what sleep can mean for them and how\, conjoined with art\, it can benefits our lives. \n \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… \n \nGeorge Carlin on the compelling nature of sleep… \n“People say\, ‘I’m going to sleep now\,’ as if it were nothing. But it’s really a bizarre activity. ‘For the next several hours\, while the sun is gone\, I’m going to become unconscious\, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns\, I will resume my life.’ \nIf you didn’t know what sleep was\, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie\, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you’d seen. \nThey had these people\, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then\, once a day\, usually after dark\, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely\, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there\, completely vulnerable to their enemies\, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or\, if one of the ‘mind adventures’ got too real\, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren’t unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.’ \nSo\, next time you see someone sleeping\, make believe you’re in a science fiction movie. And whisper\, ‘The creature is regenerating itself.”

Think of Juice as RACC’s love letter to the arts by celebrating art’s power through video stories\, performance and awards. This is our opportunity to help business and the broader community truly understand the critical need for art and all the ways our community can support the people producing it. We hope to inspire increased value and investment in the arts through story and connection. More than 400 people attend Juice. They represent the business\, artist\, nonprofit and government sectors.
