Are you a girl fascinated by living things? Are you thinking about a career in biology? Meet Dr. Allison Barth and tour her lab at the Department of Biological Sciences. Dr. Barth, who studies plasticity in neurons, focuses on how experience transforms the properties of neurons to encode memory. Don’t forget it! Learn about her latest research that seeks answers to questions like: “How do experiences activate and change neuronal properties in vertebrates and invertebrates?” If this piques your interest, join us to find out if you’re destined to work in a bio lab!
Tour Your Future is sponsored by CONSOL Energy, who recognizes the importance of STEM education and the need to increase diversity in related fields of study. They are eager to engage with these young women during a time when they are forming opinions on their future careers and hope to inspire them to want to learn more about STEM disciplines and ultimately pursue careers within the ever-growing energy industry.
