The Irvine Brain Bee is an annual competition hosted by the CNLM to test high school students on their knowledge of neuroscience. This year, it was held in person on the UC Irvine campus for the first time in two years, and many of the CNLM Ambassadors in the K-12 Committee volunteered their time to facilitate this event, including lab members Alina and Daniela.

Throughout this day-long event, both Alina and Daniela organized the check-in process for the Brain Bee participants, shared their undergrad (and graduate) experiences with the high school students, and taught them about visual illusions during the activities portion of the day.

Liz was also invited as the keynote speaker for the 2022 Irvine Brain Bee, where she explained her work on individual differences in human spatial navigation. It’s always inspiring to see so many students passionate about the brain. What a successful day!
