A wonderful outreach session to West Hartford High schoolers.
Thank you, Sarah, for your efforts in promoting science to high school kids!
Two weeks of outreach! Sensory Physiology Club is teaching science to New Haven school students!
Sensory Physiology Club keeps promoting science among school students. This time we hosted 65 kids form around New Haven!
We just finished two incredible weeks of outreach! Two groups of New Haven school students came to Slav and Elena Labs’ own Sensory Physiology Club to learn how we smell, taste, hear, touch and see.
Elena gave an interview on hibernation to KCBS!

Sensory Physiology Club strikes again! We’ve had a wonderful week teaching sensory physiology to a new class of science-hungry students from New Haven schools.
This year our Sensory Physiology Club went online. We taught physiology to a group of wonderful students from Greater New Haven school. An unforgettable week!
Watch the video! Starring uber-scientists from Slav and Elena Labs at Yale!

We’ve had a wonderful week of lectures and experiments with students from Greater New Haven schools!
Now you can now watch lectures from this course on the sense of taste and smell on our SensoryPhysiologyClub channel.
We’ve launched Sensory Physiology Club in July of 2014. Since then, we’ve taught over 600 hundreds of kids!
Viktor’s lecture on the sense of touch from our 5-day course on sensory physiology for mid- and high-school students.
A five-day Sensory Physiology Club for a group of kids from the Greater New Haven area.
Another great outreach session. This time we had three groups of amazingly smart kids from a New York school.
Another great science outreach session with three groups of kids from Amity High School. Thanks to Willem, Lydia, Vanessa and Evan.
Five more lectures to a new group of science-hungry kids.
Five days of lectures to a group of wonderful kinds!
The Slav and Elena Labs’s own Sensory Physiology Club was proud to take part in the Yale Pathways to Neuroscience Brain Education Day.
Thank you Lydia, Evan, Willem and Karen!
Slav, Elena, Lydia and Evan volunteered to host science-hungry kids at the Yale Pathways to Science orientation session. We met wonderful people and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We also took a few pictures so that we now can play a very interesting intellectual game—find Evan.
The game is essentially a cryptic puzzle. It stimulates cognitive arousal, potentiates watchfulness and wariness, and battles ignorance and neglect. The game can be played individually, or by two people against one another, or even by teams. Here it is.
Level 0 (practice): Where is Evan? Hint: Evan is not Elena or Lydia.
Level 1: Beginner. Where is Evan?
Level 2: Intermediate. Where is Evan?
Level 3: Insane. Where is Evan?
We play only the best games.
We have launched the Sensory Physiology Club – a new initiative from the Slav and Elena Labs to promote education among the school kids of the Grater New Haven area. This summer, we are proud to be a part of the Yale SCHOLAR program.
Willem is trying to convince the schoolkids that being a graduate student in the Slav and Elena Labs is the best thing ever.
Evan talks brains.
Elena and Willem are totally into Evan’s lecture.
Evan discovers his sensitivity threshold in the two-point discrimination test. Maggie operates the caliper.
