The Forger Lab presented their CBN sponsored booth “Your Brain On Bugs” at the Atlanta Science Festival Expo this year. The booth was used to educate the public about the contributions of the microbiota to brain development, highlighting our own research at GSU. We had a blast! Attendees lined up to participate in our hands-on activity, in which we demonstrated the arrival of microbes to the gut at birth by using a model (built in-house) of a newborn baby.
