Below is an email that I received with a very unique opportunity! I hope that your student might be available and/or interested! I have seen Dr. Sood speak and he is very good! It is super-cool that this opportunity is available for our kids :)

Attached is a description of the event that has been approved by the school district as well as some information about our group.Last year Brainwaves hosted a large event for high school students titled “Brain Awareness Week Event”. This event was quite successful and received a significant amount of positive feedback. We are hoping to have an equally as exciting and successful event this year.We are planning for this event to be held on April 23rd from6-8 p.m. in the subway level of the Mayo Building at the Mayo Clinic’s downtown campus. Dr. Sood’s talk will be held in Judd Auditorium, with activities in the Hage Atrium and Patient Cafeteria to follow.We are excited to work together to make this a successful event for all parties. Please feel free to contact me or either of the Brainwaves co-directors, who are cc’d on this email, with any questions, comments or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!Thank you for your time,Sherri Biendarra| Pre-Doctoral Student | Mayo Graduate School |Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (MPET) trackMayo Clinic College of Medicine | 262-247-6792 | Lab: 507-266-1609| biendarra.sherri@mayo.edu
