The amazing science of how bodies work

Our quality of life depends to some extent on the health and function of our bodies. In the lab, we use a variety of models to test regenerative and rehabilitative approaches to combat common musculoskeletal diseases. In this talk I will introduce “Regen Rehab” and tell a story of how we use advanced imaging techniques to judge how exercise affects the largest, strongest, and most injured tendon in our bodies: the Achilles.

What is an octopus scientist, and how does someone become one? Learn about Angelique's journey into science, what she does day to day, and how that helps her understand what an octopus sees. By performing mini FMRIs on octopuses, she is helping establish foundational knowledge about what an octopus is seeing, and how the brain is responding to what it sees in real time. You may be thinking 'how does that impact my day to day life?'. Come be part of a discussion that will address how learning about unique brains may help society!
