SCIENCE!
moments from study and research work
just a few fun things
Examining native mississippi buggies to illustrate for the MS

more photos and the posters i made for the events.
A friend was being published in Nature. their lab wanted
some help with imaging technique for the cover. this is
from us helping out in devising a (very temporary) holding
tube for the insect and parasitic wasp so the photo could be
snapped. I used two microscope slides and clear hot glue.
Pourous putty to close the top for just a bit.
We safely returned them to their home in the lab after quick photos.
Neuroscience Club
at Mississippi State University
As a sophomore at Mississippi State University, I founded the Neuroscience Club organization. Upon arriving at MSU, I had limited knowledge of both academia and the intricacies of neuroscience. When I searched for terms like 'brain' or 'neuroscience' on the university’s platforms, I found little information. Eventually, I discovered that neuroscience was present, though not always labeled as such. This realization inspired me to establish the club, and through this process, I was able to deepen my understanding of the field. The club quickly grew to over two hundred members and hosted a range of events, most notably two brain dissections. We also organized numerous outreach activities and provided opportunities to examine genuine neurons under the microscope. The club has become a unifying force for all neuroscience-related initiatives on campus, fostering growth in the field and playing a key role in the establishment of the university’s first official neuroscience minor.at Mississippi State University
As the president, I placed a priority in making our advertisement interesting. Myself and Gabriella Sutherland, Artist and President of Arts and Letters, work on creating all the club graphics ourselves.

Neuroscience Club visited the kids at brickfire
and we gave a short presentation about the nervous system.
We then made brain hats with them.

I have depicted tristan’s orb with scientific illustration.
We held an event at neuro club where we
invited the public to look inside of a microscope
at real neurons/ neural tissue and also learn
a bit about how how to operate the microscope
