Thankful for @wsuthinklab holding a lab meeting today about science policy, communication, and VOTING! Did you vote yet? No? Make a plan now!! #SciCom #SciPol #Voting #election

Had a BLAST at Detroit’s 2nd Precinct’s trunk or treat!! #Halloween @wsuthinklab

Happy Halloween! 🎃 The THINK team had a blast presenting human brain specimens and passing out candy at Fisher Elementary’s Mad Scientist Trunk or Treat event. We hope you have a safe and fun holiday!

Had so much fun talking to Detroit youth today about neuroscience and @wsuthinklab !! We got to show them fixed whole brains & what their own brain waves look like via EEG! #outreach #science #neuroscience #EEG

Congrats to THINK Lab members Emily, Alex, and Dr. Zundel for presenting their research at the Society for Neuroscience (SFN) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. #SFN2024
