Visit the Ackland’s booth at the UNC Science Expo at Morehead Planetarium to sketch neurons based on the work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, the father of modern neuroscience featured in the exhibition The Beautiful Brain. Build a working model of a neuron to demonstrate the neuron doctrine. Food trucks and many other activities on site.
