Interdisciplinary Neuroscience with NW Noggin

In this week’s episode we team up with a local volunteer driven nonprofit NW Noggin! They are a neuroscience outreach group that collaborates with schools and community organizations to bring accessible interdisciplinary science to as many brains as possible. Quinn (he/him) is joined by two PSU Instructors and cofounders of NW Noggin, Bill Griesar (he/him) & Jeff Leake (he/him), discussing the importance of interdisciplinary work, why outreach is so important, and the joys of learning more about the human experience through art and science.
