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 \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!

SUMMARY:Noggin Presents: TRIO Conference!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Northwest Noggin Presents at the Annual Oregon TRIO CONFERENCE \nWe did it!\nMoving beyond paywalls and jargon\n \n \n \nPOST BY BRITTA HARBURY @ PSU COMING SOON! \nWHERE: Salishan Coastal Lodge\, 7760 North Highway 101\, Gleneden Beach\, Oregon 97388 \nWHEN: Wednesday\, April 6\, 1:30 – 3:45 for research fair; 3:45 – 5:00 for breakout session \n \nSo excited to introduce Northwest Noggin! Presentation by Britta Harbury (undergraduate @ Portland State University)\, Kanani Miyamoto and Jeff Leake (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!

I graduated from UP with majors in Psychology and Spanish and a minor in Neuroscience in 2014. After graduating\, I worked as a research assistant in the Raber lab for 2 years before joining the BSN graduate program. When I am not in lab\, I can usually be found running on one of the amazing local trails with my husband & dog. I love being in the mountains\, and have spent the last several years trail running & training for ultramarathons (I especially love snacking on huckleberries on the sides of the trails). \n  \n9:00 – 9:30pm \nWolf\nWolf (Emilee Brnusak) is a professional jazz singer in the Portland Area and a senior at Portland State University\, studying criminology and criminal justice.
