Call for MNI Volunteers for BrainsRule! Event

MNI members and lab staff are encouraged to volunteer for BrainsRule!, an outreach event aimed at inspiring underprivileged middle school students from Detroit and Ypsilanti. 

Held at the Michigan League on Thursday, April 10, this NGP graduate student-led event seeks to educate students about the brain and encourage their interest in science, making neuroscience exciting and accessible through engaging, hands-on activities.

Volunteers can sign up for either full-day or half-day shifts, with necessary training provided. By participating, faculty can help ignite a passion for science in young students while also connecting with potential future researchers.

Those interested in this rewarding opportunity should sign up by March 22nd and are encouraged to share the call with their departments. Join this impactful effort to foster curiosity and inspire a new generation of scientists.
