Wow! Our 4th and final event of #BrainFest2025 with our @cuanschutz.bsky.social volunteers! Fabulous turnout downtown Denver to engage about brain health 🧠 including a chance to talk brains with our @COStateSenator @senatorMattBall and son. Important timing to discuss #NIH funding of research 🔬🧬

Big progress on BRAIN CAMP sculptures! Kids discussed the art and voted on titles, and added their brain art to the bases. 🧠 These will be finished up and go on display at @stanleymarket all Sept and then be auctioned off so they can be brain health engagement pieces in the community. 👏

Last day of BRAIN CAMP was a hit! Campers finished their mini brains, used their brain knowledge to solve a treasure hunt for ice cream and helped with the art on the giant sculptures 🧠. Was an amazing week of incredible learning and fantastic fun with hands-on science and art. 🎉 Phew! 😅

Big day for BRAIN CAMP sculptures! They’re really starting to take shape. The glow in the dark 🧠 is fabulous and the kids have added such creative ideas from what they’ve learned this week. Can’t wait to display and auction these off so they can be out in the community. @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Today at BRAIN CAMP was a busy day of hypothesis testing (does more vinegar make your balloon explode faster?), learning about and then dissecting the hippocampus from sheep brains 😳 which they LOVED, and finishing their mini brain sculptures. 🧠

BRAIN CAMPers learned all about the scientific method & developed a hypothesis today regarding a very important issue of what size and shape of marshmallow melts in a solar s’more oven faster 🤔. Messy but memorable science! @cuanschutz.bsky.social

In today’s BRAIN CAMP sculpture news, the kids started on incorporating what they’ve learned into themes for each brain. So far, we’ve got the beautiful bedazzled brain and glowing neurons brain (yes, actually glows in the dark!). Look for updates as the week progresses 🧠.

Today at BRAIN CAMP kids learned all about beautiful neurons! 🧠 How they fxn, their parts, & we had an amazing talk about brain injury & prevention, brain diseases, & mental health. These kids asked brilliant questions 🔥. Did some sheep brain anatomy and built neurons. @cuanschutz.bsky.social

At BRAIN CAMP this year, we are doing giant brain 🧠 sculptures to be displayed at our local market, explained by the kids on what they learned about their brain & then auctioned off for display in the community 🙌. Follow us to watch the progress on the sculptures this week! @cuanschutz.bsky.social

That time of year again - we are doing BRAIN CAMP!! 🧠 3-5th graders learning the brain & brain health through hands-on science and art. In these anxiety times, watching these kids’ awe and joy in discovery is fabulous 😄

My favorite & most inspiring story of 🧠 #SONA is from the amazing @RachaelDangarembizi from Cape Town UCT. Humble beginnings to superstar ⭐️ neuroscientist. Check out her work in neuroimmunology. Incredible translation science identifying mechanisms for how infections hide in the brain 🤯.

Some inspirational stories from 🧠 colleagues in Africa #SONA. Early career training programs & schools, esp those supported by @ibroorg.bsky.social have had enormous impact on careers and scientific discovery. Feels like a good time to recognize our mutual goals in advocating for 🌍global research 🔬

Incredible neuroscience 🧠teaching, research and networking this week in Morocco 🇲🇦 at #SONA2025 in Marrakech and @ibroorg.bsky.social supported School in Rabat. Much needed break from stress in US to focus on how we can support and elevate global 🌍 research 🔬 🧬

Hundreds showed up in the freezing cold at the I70 overpass near Denver to support #HandsOff today! Hands off NIH 🧬, Hands off our research 🧠, Hands off US health! 🥼🔬👩🏽🔬

THIS is outrageous and scary! RFK making his own journal that appears to be associated with a medical society.There is no such thing as the Academy of Public Health! They can use this to make false claims in medicine and science, including for vaccines. These are not peer reviewed nor scientific!

Yes. This says it all. Should be a unifying dream.
