Bamlab at the “Girls’ Science Adventure: Inside Your Brain”
|
Girls in grade 4-6 got an up-close look participated in a neuropsychology adventure day in which members of the UO Women in Graduate Sciences helped them learn all about how human brains work, how they change over time, and what they look like through a brain scan. This event is part of the Science Factory’s Girls’ Science Adventures workshop series. Dasa represented our lab. In addition to our regular outreach kid activities, she brought cute little brain soap for the girls! |
