Can’t make it March 20? Join us April 17, 4:30–5:30pm at the Children’s Museum of South Bend for another Engineering Explorers session led by @NDengineering ASCE, Chi Epsilon, and NSBE student groups. Register (spots limited): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Build. Tinker. Explore! 🚀 Join us March 20, 4:30–5:30pm at the Children’s Museum of South Bend for hands-on STEM activities for kids ages 8–13 led by @NDengineering Society of Latino Engineers & Scientists and Design, Build, Fly. Register (spots limited): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Pressure alone can damage the brain. New research from Notre Dame shows sustained pressure on brain tissue can trigger neurons to activate their own self-destruction program. That knowledge could change how scientists understand brain tumors and injury: go.nd.edu/395d05
