Center for Brain Injury Recovery & Discovery

NTRIPS

CBIRD's flagship seminar series convenes researchers to share and workshop current projects in brain injury, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative disease, and related topics.

NeuroTrauma Research In Progress Seminars (NTRIPS) bring together basic and clinical biological scientists, engineering and data analytics researchers, and psychologists and neuroimagers. By sharing current and unpublished research projects, scientists can find partners, advance their ideas, and brainstorm new ideas. NTRIPS is co-sponsored by the Center for Brain & Spinal Cord Repair.

CBIRD Trainee Society | Presenting Your Science
The Ohio State University Center for Brain Injury Recovery and Discovery Trainee Society presents Presenting Your Science, a workshop designed to help trainees turn complex research into clear, compelling communication. Focused on bridging the gap between science and real world audiences, this session will equip participants with practical tools to pitch their research, explain their work with clarity, and strengthen how they write and present across settings.Featuring Katie Thomas, APR, a lecturer in communication and leader in health marketing, alongside Olga N. Kokiko-Cochran, Ph.D., an associate professor of neuroscience, the workshop brings together expertise in storytelling and science. Trainees will leave with a stronger understanding of how to make their research accessible, engaging, and impactful.
Time 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Location The James, room L035 (Wasserstrom Auditorium)
