Need a break from the bone-chilling Chicago cold? I'll be speaking this Thursday, Jan 28th at the National Museum of Health + Medicine Chicago starting at 6:15pm with the incredible John Daugherty, Program Director of UIC's Biomedical Visualization program.
I'll be speaking about why I started Street Anatomy and what I've learned about contemporary anatomical art over the past 9 years!

April 1: UChicago Neuro Experts to Crack the Brain’s Toughest Riddles in TED-Style Talks
“Brain Teasers: Cracking the Mind’s Toughest Riddles” on campus, free and open to public
What: A free, two-hour session for the general public, “Brain Teasers: Cracking the Mind’s Toughest Riddles” will feature a panel of University of Chicago neuroscientists. They will present exciting brain-science breakthroughs and provide fascinating insights into our brain, body and behavior in TED-style talks. The experts will answer these questions and more:
• Why do some of us choke under pressure, while others perform “in the zone” during a big game or test?
• Why will a rat pass up a yummy piece of chocolate to free a fellow rat who is trapped instead?
• What treatments are on the horizon for people with brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and dementia?
• Will individuals who have lost limbs or suffer from tetraplegia even be able to touch, feel or manipulate objects again?

Please consider making a donation to NSBE-IIT as we are struggling to raise funds to attend a life-changing event. Our chapter is hoping to travel to the NSBE Annual Convention so that we may develop both professionally and personally. This event provides workshops that will not only make us better leaders, but also provides us with networking and career opportunities that will help us bridge cultural gaps in the workplace and therefore strengthen our communities. Please help us in our efforts "to increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community."
