Please join us in congratulating the newest PhD of the WNL, Dr. Abi Heller-Wight! We’re so proud to celebrate this incredible milestone with you!

Today is WorldBrainDay! Let’s raise awareness about brain health, neurological/neurodegenerative disorders, and the power of neuroscience to change lives. Remember to take care of your brain, it’s the only one you’ve got!

HUGE congratulations to SURP student Akanksha! She received the Best Presentation Award for her research which she conducted over the summer with the WNL!

Meet one of our amazing summer students who is participating in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SUPR)!

Hello! My name is Akanksha, I am from Houston, Texas and am a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin. Currently, I'm majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Science Communications and I hope to pursue an MD/PhD program after college! Here at WNL, I've had an incredible time tracing hippocampi, looking at the PRANK data, and learning how to administer different neuropsychological tests. In my free time, I enjoy kayaking, going on hikes, and eating good food. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this lab for the summer and I can't wait to see how my project develops.
