The ADCNI hosted a coffee chat for science teachers from high schools in several NYC underserved communities. Brian and Hongzhen shared about the science and discoveries underway at ADCNI. In an inspiring exchange, the teachers recounted their own experiences, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs of nurturing the next generation of scientists. ADCNI extends its heartfelt gratitude to these dedicated educators for their unwavering commitment and hard work. We eagerly anticipate collaborating to foster the inquisitive minds of tomorrow. A special thanks to Denise Croote, Veronica Szarejko, and Natalia Biscola from the Friedman Brain Institute for their instrumental support in making this event possible.
