Sponsored in partnership with OHSU's Office of Science Education Opportunities, The Moore Institute for Nutrition and Wellness and the OHSU Brain Institute, the annual Teacher Workshop is a unique opportunity designed to give teachers an insight into what role neuroscience and early life nutrition and wellness play in the classroom.

Participants will receive a certificate of completion for four hours of education. Some states accept this as continuing education units.
