Gave a talk at my parents’ retirement community to describe how science is done, and what is at stake. There was a ton of interest, and anyone can do this. Get the word out about how science affects everyone. I’m happy to share slides with anyone who asks- just get in touch! youtu.be/BY_SFgi-Cig

🧠✨ This weekend, we had an amazing time at STEM Day in the Park! Families joined us for a hands-on journey into the brain and nervous system with interactive experiments.

We loved sparking curiosity and inspiring future scientists. 🚀🔬 #STEMDay #NeuroscienceFun #BrainPower
A community science event taking place outdoors in an urban park, with people of diverse backgrounds engaging in hands-on learning activities. A young girl with braided hair and colorful beads is interacting with a puzzle-like anatomy model at a table covered with educational materials, including a model of a skull, brain-shaped objects, and colorful food items. Volunteers and attendees, including a woman in a green shirt and another in a UT Dallas cap, are assisting participants in exploring the exhibits. The background features tall buildings, trees, and other activity booths with people engaged in various educational demonstrations. A young man in a white sweater enthusiastically demonstrates a colorful neuron pipe cleaner model to a group of attendees at an outdoor science event. A young girl in a white shirt and a man in a red shirt watch attentively, while another volunteer in a green shirt, representing the "School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences" , works at the table. The table is covered with educational materials, including a brain model and interactive learning tools. The background features a park setting with concrete steps, grass, and people engaging in various activities under a sunny sky. A lively outdoor science event in an urban park, where volunteers and attendees of diverse backgrounds engage in hands-on learning activities. A woman in a white shirt with a smiley face design enthusiastically gives a thumbs-up while standing near a table filled with educational materials, including anatomical models, food items, and scientific tools. Children and adults gather around as a volunteer in a green shirt holds up a model brain and explains a concept. The background features tall buildings, inflatable play structures, and people enjoying the event under a partly cloudy sky. A diverse group of people, including children and adults, are gathered around an outdoor activity booth in a park setting. Two men behind the table are engaging with children, handing out educational materials related to the brain and neuroscience. The table is covered with colorful educational materials, including brain models, activity sheets, and small plush brain toys. The crowd appears engaged and interested, with children leaning in to interact with the materials. The event takes place on a grassy area with a concrete border, and other people can be seen in the background participating in similar activities.
