Thanks to the UCLA Brain Research Institute the Germania Culture Club
was able to offer PCC students the opportunity to bring their academic experience
across a broad spectrum of academic environments in one single ... Tag / day!
Stay tuned for next year's trip or sign-up for our next activities, so you don't miss out (Event's Calendar page)
Prof. Petra Lott's presentation
"Cognitive Advantages of Bilingualism" |
UCLA Brain Research Institute visit
|
Languages participants want to learn: Portuguese, French, Latin, German, Japanese, Spanish.
How some participants got inspired ... ~ "We got a chance to meet with neuroscientists and they explained about how our brain works and it is just amazing. Thank you so much for this trip." ~ "I had a fun time and would like to do it again" ~ "Hearing about nutrition and how it affects the gut can be do to stress or indigestion. Everything was excellent! I really enjoyed this learning opportunity and the career panel and speaking with the scientists." ~ "Combining the Virtual Reality technology and neuroscience research. I'd like to learn more about this. Looking forward to more activities like this! Keep up the great work!" ~ "I learned a lot today about the frontal lobe and how the brain works. Also, learned certain things about the brain by actually examining it. We should fund trips like this!!!" ~ "I think talking to the panel and being able to ask them a variety of questions not just about the brain but about the career path. I hope to see more trips of this nature!" ~ I find it fascinating that researchers can come from a variety of backgrounds and majors. It gives me hope and motivation that I can handle this. Thank you very much." ~ "I really liked the Q&A with the panel because we got to ask a lot of personal insightful questions. Kudos to everyone involved. It really opened up my eyes to the possibilities of neuroscience." ~ "While it made sense to me, I never thought about the application of virtual reality to neuroscientific study. It was inspiring to see people from different fields collaborating that way. Thank you." |
We were fascinated with the Mind-Gut research.
