Moderator Joanne Cohen and her colleagues Dr. Maureen Stabio and Katie Caron will converse about how art, science, and the brain are connected. The class will begin with a video of the Neuron Forest Installation created by Katie (in collaboration with Dr. Stabio). Katie will also share how she uses art therapy to overcome trauma and discusses art for life-long learning. Dr. Stabio will explain how Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, brain injury, Alzheimer’s Disease, etc. impact the brain and will show plastinated (preserved) brains from the organ library at University of Colorado (CU).
