Vanderbilt Kennedy Center Science Day

— Tuesday, November 1, 2022

Each year, hundreds of students and academics from across Vanderbilt pull together and present their research during a sweeping day of science and research. This year’s VKC Science Day held the distinction of being the first time the event was held in person since 2019. More than 100 presenters demonstrated their work across two consecutive poster sessions while judges roamed and assessed their presentations.

During VKC Science Day EBRL’s own Andrea Burgess won the Poster Competition under the Systems Neuroscience category with her poster: “Executive function-related neural activity and connectivity during word reading predict later reading ability”

EBRL had a fun time meeting you at Brain Blast 2022!

Brain Blast is a free educational event for kids held every year by the Vanderbilt Brain Institute. Every year children K-8th grade get to meet and learn from real brain scientists about the brain and we always enjoy meeting everyone and teaching them about our lab and what we do at EBRL. This year Mr. Commodore himself came for a visit and even practiced laying still for an MRI! If you’d like to come to next year’s Brain Blast and participate in this free event, please check back with our site regularly and with the Vanderbilt Brain Institute’s calendar. Brain Blast occurs every year in March.
