Thank you to everyone who attended our 5th annual Brewing Biology Event! Dr. Luana Colloca (@luanacolloca.bsky.social) gave a riveting presentation on the intersection between pain, placebo effects, and life experiences.

There is still time to register for our 5th annual Brewing Biology event starting tomorrow at 5:00! Come socialize and enjoy some food and drinks while learning about research and local programming that focuses on child development.

We are hosting our 5th annual Brewing Biology event next Tuesday June 16th at Checkerspot Brewing Company! Brewing Biology is a community-focused event that encourages discussion about relevant scientific research and public health.

A big thanks to the Maryland Science Center for hosting our Blossoming Brains event this past weekend! We had so much fun chatting with young kids about the brain and what we do as neuroscientists.

We hope everyone had a safe (and spooky) Halloween! To get in the Halloween spirit, NOVA volunteered at Trick or Treat with UMB - there is nothing more on theme than talking about brains! The kids were able to make a spooky potion using dry ice (a trick) before enjoying some candy (a treat).

Hello Bluesky! We are the Neuroscience Outreach and Volunteer Association, a student-led volunteer organization at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. We host hands-on, science based events within the Baltimore community. Our goal is to get people of all ages excited about science!
