We had a great time today meeting our state legislators with the Alzheimer's Association, hopefully we will be able to participate in more events like this in the future!

Visit us at the Union!

Tomorrow, stop by Union Green to say hi to NUSA as we promote Neuroscience to FSU!
We'll be there 9:30am-1:30pm. We will have sheep brains, interactive neuroscience displays, and a special tea that makes you lose your sense of taste for sweetness (😦).

Want to volunteer? Comment below and indicate when you'll be free. You will get membership points for volunteering and Servscript hours! Feel free to bring any science stuff you have to add to our display.
