Making Neuroscience Accessible to All

The Scaplen Lab is committed making neuroscience accessible to all. We regularly visit K-12 classrooms to teach students about the brain, are active participants in Brain Waves RI, and participate in annual RI Brain Fairs to educate the public on brain science and brain health.

Scaplen Lab visits Central Falls High School to teach about the brain and their research.

Scaplen Lab creates virtual lesson plan on Optical Illusions for K-12 schools for BRAINY Adventures.

Dr. Scaplen serves on the Executive Committee of Brain Waves RI, formerly known as Brain Week RI.

We aim to promote science communication skills among specialists, destigmatize mental illness, inspire the next generation of neuroscientists, foster public understanding of brain science and brain health, and promote a sense of community in Rhode Island.

Scaplen Lab presents at Pawtucket Brain Fair 2023 at Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket RI. Check out our table in the upcoming Pawtucket Brain Fair on March 9th, 2024.
