In helping HHMI at Janelia, we are moving their efforts to better understand the drosophila (fly)

brain, and in turn, ours.

In this class, we switch from tracing the drosophila's neurons

in the Bock Lab CATMAID, to listening/presenting articles

about different studies done on the brain and how it relates to

what we are contributing to with our tracing each week.

Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Premier research facility dedicated to benefiting

society through scientific research and

empowering the individual.

Practicum in Health Science- Neuron Tracing

"We have struggled in finding a soma, bonded over our Keurig machine and independently

researched/presented similar projects around the globe!"
