University of California, San Diego: Neurosciences Program Outreach Collaboration

 

Welcome, to the UCSD Neuroscience Outreach information portal. We invite you to take a look around and e-mail us if you have any questions or would like to set up a working collaboration with our outreach group. We are available for classroom visits to high school age students and for other presentations to similarly aged groups. You can view the modules we have available for interactive hands-on presentations here. Through a grant from the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives we now have a lending library. Please check our list of supplies that are available for lending and email us to set up borrowing from the library.

Sincerely,

The UCSD Neuroscience Outreach Committee

THANKS and accolates to the following organizations and individuals:

The UCSD Neuroscience Program

Glen Northcutt, Professor of Neuroscience and Faculty at Scripps Research Institute, for specimens used in modules.

The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives for providing the neuroscience lending library grant.
