Traumatic Brain Injuries - The Big and The Small (Prof. Nipun Chopra)

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a common source of disability in the elderly, the military, and in athletes. TBIs are linked with an increased likelihood of developing neurodegenerative diseases later in life, including Alzheimer's Disease and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). Despite the high incidence of TBIs, our ability to diagnose them is limited. To improve TBI diagnosis, we must understand biomarker turnover and identify applicable real-world technologies. Our purpose is to understand the biology of one such biomarker, S100B, and test the feasibility of one such technology, the Hiji sense.

Art Exhibition
2 - 5 p.m.
The Richard E. Peeler Art Center

The pastoral is an idea; a landscape that lives in the mind, in memory, and in the utopian impulse.
The exhibition uses landscape as subject, frame, or referent to ruminate upon the urgent need to
respond: to the observed universe, to the woods as we find them, and the walled gardens we
build and live within. A dewdrop captures a passing cloud as effortlessly as a cat becomes a
portal and a creek becomes a cosmic mirror. Although these works range widely in scale, tone
and tenor, most of the paintings were made in one sitting.
