Understanding the mind takes many ways of seeing.
Faculty at the Wu Tsai Institute are working across neuroscience, engineering, and psychology to study how the mind works. A look inside the institute’s new home shows how shared spaces and new tools are supporting discovery through collaboration.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”
