A special scientist visited the 7B scientists yesterday! It was a real treat! Dr. Kolodkin is a scientist at the department of neurobiology at Johns Hopkins University. We were greeted with a discussion about the brain- and were even given our own vile of fruit flies to observe throughout class! He brought in two microscopes. We looked at slides of the neurons inside of a fruit fly and a monkey brain- it was fascinating! Thank you, Dr. Kolodkin, for your special visit! We enjoyed this time with you!
