We hope everybody is healthy and settling into the We hope everybody is healthy and settling into the new school year! Our theme for the 2020-2021 academic year is.... drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁... the gut-brain connection! The Gut-Brain Axis is an exciting field of research in neuroscience that has completely erupted over the last several years, and we’re excited to focus on it this year! Reminder that our Chapter Activity Grants (CAGs) are due on October 1st. Virtual events ARE eligible for CAGs! More information and the application can be found through the link in our bio. If you’ve attended one of our national members meetings in the past, you may remember that we usually break into smaller groups to discuss multiple topics, including ideas for next year’s theme. With SfN being cancelled this year, we’re going virtual with our member’s meeting (October 22nd, more on this soon!), and we want to collect some ideas in advance. The Google doc link is listed on the last photo if you have ideas you’d like to share 💭

As an affiliated investigator in the Neuroscience and Robotics Lab (NxR) at Northwestern, her work focuses on exploring the sense of touch. Current efforts in the lab focus developing a computational model for how sensory information from the whiskers of rats is coded and processed in the nervous system and how this information is used to explore the rat’s environment and guide its actions. You can find more about Dr. Hartmann at http://hartmann.mech.northwestern.edu/index.php
