Thanks to everyone who supported Science Trivia Night at Native Brew Works! The competition was "stiff" in the questions of the macabre. Congratulations to The Ghouls, 1 Billion Missing Snow Crabs, and Quiz in My Pants for their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place showings in a never-ending tie-break that finally came down to rock-paper-scissors!

Special thanks to Ellen Hundley and the Native Brew Crew for hosting and contributing prizes!

Also, join us tonight at the ASU Museum for Franken-STEM!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered Saturday morning at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s! We had a great activity table.

Drum circles - You can't beat 'em!

Along with the A-State Counseling Center, the SfN will co-host “Drumming to De-Stress” TODAY in the student union. It starts at NOON. Come along and beat a few drums.

This activity is used for people diagnosed with AD, for children with special needs to improve motor skills, and to help people suffering from depression and anxiety. Plus, it’s fun!!

See you at noon!🧠🥁

Apply to the NIDA Summer Research Internship Program!
Calling all undergraduates interested in participating in an addiction science summer internship! The NIDA Summer Research Internship Program supports all students with a focus on increasing underrepresented populations in substance use and addiction research. Through this program, undergraduates age 18 and older are introduced to the field of substance use and addiction research by participating in research internships with NIDA's distinguished scientists at universities across the United States. Students work with leading scientists for eight weeks during the summer. The internship may include laboratory experiments, data collection, data analysis, formal courses, participation in lab meetings, patient interviews, manuscript preparation, and literature reviews. In addition, it is expected that each intern will deliver a formal presentation on their research project at the end of the internship. Our program covers travel and housing along with a salary of $15.00/hour. For more information, please visit NIDA summer research internship program website. The deadline to apply is February 11, 2022.

Sincerely,
Julie Huffman & Albert Avila, Ph.D.
