It is during uncomfortable times that we are often forced to tap into our higher cognition and experience necessary growth. The brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections is known as neuroplasticity. This brain malleability is often the result of new situations or changes to one’s environment. May this pandemic allow us to develop more, become more flexible in our critical thinking skills, and to continue to strengthen our mental health.

About the artist, Nikki M: Although moreso formally taught in the sciences, I am forever interested in the intersection of art and science and how the humanities facilitate wellbeing. Cross disciplinary thinking is fascinating to me, and I truly believe that art serves science, and science serves art.
