Mix up our wintry cocktail of the night, the Deep Blue Sea… (recipe below!) Join us on Tuesday night as we kick off the New Year at Secret Science Club! “There’s nothing like it on Planet Earth.” “From no perspective is there any place more important,” she recently told the New York Times. In recent years, she and her colleagues have begun to uncover the powerful role the Southern Ocean plays in Earth’s climate system. She heads research on the treacherous and turbulent waters around Antarctica-one of the least known environments on the planet-using floating robots, satellites, and supercomputers. Today, Joellen Russell follows her curiosity to the very ends of the Earth.
Every summer, the sea ice broke up into floes and drifted away on mysterious currents. To join the Secret Science Club mailing list (or just request the Zoom link), send us an email up in a far-flung Alaskan fishing village, Joellen Russell was fascinated by the dynamics of sea ice. everyone on our mailing list will be emailed the Zoom link the night before. Join us live via Zoom on Tuesday, Janu(Eastern Time USA) "Doors" open at 7:30PM Secret Science Club presents Oceanographer & Antarctic Researcher Joellen Russell Widge and his research have been featured on NPR and in Futurism, Science News, Quartz, Gizmodo, and Nature. The author of over 100 scientific articles, Dr. Current technologies being developed include methods for restoring healthy function in brain circuits controlling decision-making, self-regulation, and mental flexibility. In his lab, he focuses on the development of closed loop neuro-devices that sense the brain and respond in real time to regulate the brain circuits involved in mental illness. In the clinic, he treats patients for a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance addictions, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Learn how you can participate in Brain Awareness Week, the global campaign to foster enthusiasm and support for brain scienceĪlik Widge is a psychiatrist, biomedical engineer, and neuroscientist at the University of Minnesota. Take a peek at the Dana Foundation's fact sheets, scientist interviews, and Cerebrum magazine articles, for information about brain science and how it impacts our everyday lives Mix up our cocktail of the night, the "Curious Mind"… (recipe to come!) How can we control our thoughts-instead of our thoughts controlling us? What ethical questions are raised by this research?.What types of brain stimulation treatments might be available in the future, and how would they target the unique symptoms of different disorders and differences in individuals?.What is cognitive flexibility and how does it relate to mental health? How is it measured?.What types of mental health disorders might benefit from brain stimulation treatments?.What is happening in the brains/brain networks of people with mental health issues, and how is that studied?.At the next Secret Science Club, psychiatrist and bioengineer Alik Widge explores how research and cutting-edge therapies involving brain stimulation could change our futures. While talk therapy and medications are commonly used as treatments, a growing body of research is showing that new technological interventions can help, too-sometimes in cases where nothing else has worked.
Others may be persistent and devastating. Some mental health issues may be relatively subdued and short-lived. To join the Secret Science Club mailing list (or request the Zoom link), send us an email over 85 billion neurons and 150 trillion neural connections, our brains are complex systems (and the world is a complex place), so it’s no wonder that many of us experience mental health issues at some point in our lives.
