Brain & Behavior Night 2017

From flies to humans and every animal in between, brains make behavior happen.

Come explore this at a special brains and behavior themed Science Cafe on March 16! From 6-7 pm, meet local neuroscientists and interact with hands-on brains and behavior exhibits suitable for all ages. Short, accessible talks by neuroscientists in the Daily Planet will celebrate national Brain Awareness Week and tell you what local neuroscientists are discovering. At 7pm, our special guest, prominent neuroscientist Dr. Jon Kaas from Vanderbilt University will lead a Science Café. Afterwards, the exhibits will re-open for one final celebration of brain and behavior.

The student speakers this year are: Dilara Sen (Keung lab), Carolina Johnson (Ghashghaei lab), Jaime Willett (Meitzen lab), Hongmei Li-Byarlay (Tarpy lab).
