Farmers markets are for neuroscience too!

Lab members hosted a booth to teach visitors about neuroscience at the weekly city farmers market at IX Park. Kids and adults alike came to create 3D neuron models, control an EMG electric claw, and see humans brains!

The Biology Outreach and Inclusion Program (BOIP) at UVA hosts a table at this farmers market weekly with free science activities from variety of themes including genetics, auditory science, engineering, and more. You can learn more about BOIP here!
