Being a responsible contributor applies to not only academic based work, but work in the community as well. In the spring of 2010, a few other students and I participated in brain awareness week in which we teach the Dubuque community important aspects of their brain ranging in age from 7-13 years of age (in years to come, we are hoping to expand to elderly adults as well). We then presented a poster at the Society for Neuroscience conference every fall. Not only are we educating our community, but we are networking with students from across the globe participating in the same event.
