Outreach

Here at the Stratton Lab, we are continuously searching for opportunities to reach out and share our knowledge with the community.

We pledge to:

- Share our expertise in neuroscience and neuroimmunology with the wider public to increase interest and awareness in our research and its impact in the world.

- Reach out to members of the community by creating media presence through public talks, podcasts, writing, and more.
