SUMMARY:NW Noggin Reddit Science AMA!
DESCRIPTION:Teaching brain science through art for K-12 and the public AMA\nWHAT:  Noggin Reddit Science AMA\nWHEN:  Tuesday\, June 13\, 10:00 – 11:00am\nWHERE:  Science Outreach AMA \n \n\nHi Reddit\, we’re Bill Griesar and Jeff Leake\, instructors in Psychology at Portland State University and co-founders of the art and science outreach nonprofit nwnoggin.org. We train graduates and undergraduates in neuroscience and art to collaborate\, and use art projects to enthuse and inform K-12 students and the public about how our brains work. Ask us anything! \n \nScience needs investment\, and engaging young people and the public prepares young scientists to clearly explain exciting and relevant new discoveries\, enthuses K-12 students about educational and career possibilities\, and builds support for further research. Integrating arts in STEM (an approach known as STEAM) fosters learning\, creativity and engagement. \n \nOur outreach volunteers (from Portland State University\, Oregon Health & Sciences University and other campuses) have worked with over 14\,000 academic priority students since 2012\, presenting art projects and research in public schools\, museums\, homeless youth centers\, breweries\, theaters\, Congress\, the Obama White House\, and even bike shop pubs! Recently we’ve hit the road to discuss federally funded research on the brain and drugs\, anxiety\, depression\, Parkinson’s\, Alzheimer’s\, adolescent brain development and other compelling topics in rural communities throughout the inland Northwest. Ask us anything!

SUMMARY:First Thursday:  "place" @ p:ear!
DESCRIPTION:“place” Featuring the art of Kanani Miyamoto\, Jillian Barthold and p:ear youth\n \nThe p:ear gallery is thrilled to announce their June/July 2017 showcase of “place” a new collection of work by Kanani Miyamoto\, Jillian Barthold and p:ear youth artists. \nKanani Miyamoto is the Noggin Resource Council member for arts integration\, and is often involved in outreach efforts at p:ear\, Velo Cult\, and through her current residency at the Right Brain Initiative. \nLEARN MORE:  The Art & Science of Stress @ Velo \n \n  \nThis amazing new collection of work from Portland based artist Kanani Miyamoto and Jillian Barthold engages culture\, relationship\, space\, objects and personal identity and ranges from playful landscapes to dramatic print work. These elements challenge the often mundane and overlooked concept of “Place” and how it plays a pivotal role in who we are and the relationships we have. This collection will be accompanied by print work from p:ear youth. \nAlso on display in the p:ear gallery in June: THROUGH OUR LENS//PhotoVoice Project Presented by Sisters of the Road \n“Through our Lens” – PhotoVoice Project is an update on a project that was originally created in 2005. The original project provided individuals experiencing houselessness with photography classes and black-and-white disposable cameras in order to document their lives in a way that many others never see or consider. \nAs with all of Sisters’ community organizing work\, “Through our Lens” – PhotoVoice Project will serve as a tool to provide a face to houselessness\, so that we may decrease the “us” vs. “them” phenomenon that must be overcome in order to work together toward viable solutions. This project gave community members\, who are currently unhoused\, the opportunity to share their lived experiences through their own lens. It lets the photographs tell their own stories. \nOpening Date: June 1st 2017\nOpening Time: 5pm – 8pm

Integrating arts in STEM (“STEAM”) fosters engagement. Here we report on efforts to reach K-12 students and the public about brain research at the 2016 Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego. \nNW 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 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. \n* Department of Psychology\, Portland State University; NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org) \nA network grows in San Diego\n \nMyelin Satellite Meeting Speakers\nStephen Back\, Oregon Health & Science University\nHyaluronan mediates perinatal myelination failure through a tolerance-like non-inflammatory signaling pathway \nDennis Bourdette\, Oregon Health & Science University\nA brief history of myelin: From Versalius to the Bunges \nJonah Chan\, University of California San Francisco\nDo remyelination therapies promote axonal survival and neuronal function after inflammatory demyelination? \nBen Emery\, Oregon Health & Science University\nMore than just insulation?

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. \n\n  \nNoggin also submitted a Theme J abstract… \nNW Noggin: Synaptic community connections in the rural Pacific Northwest \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)
