❤️🧠 What can the heart tell us about the brain?

On January 28 from 3-4pm, HMRI - Huntington Medical Research Institutes will host a scientific lecture by HMRI Assistant Professor Xianghong Arakaki, MD, PhD, exploring how brain waves and heart waves are connected and what those signals may reveal about early Alzheimer’s disease and migraine. Dr. Arakaki’s work highlights how subtle physiological changes could offer new insights into cognitive function before disease symptoms appear.

We look forward to welcoming colleagues, students, and community members for an evening of discovery and discussion.

🧠 “This program strengthened my problem-solving skills, helped me connect knowledge with real-world applications, and prepared me for future studies and a career in science and healthcare.” — David, HMRI High School STEM Student

👨‍🔬 For David, HMRI's STEM Program offered something he couldn’t get in a traditional classroom. He didn’t just learn new laboratory techniques — he saw how science comes alive through experimentation, collaboration, and real research challenges.

🧪 David’s experience shows how access to experiences in research environments and laboratories can change a student’s trajectory. Programs like this give young scholars the opportunity to explore their interests, gain meaningful guidance, and build the foundation for future academic and professional success.

💙 This Giving Tuesday, you can help more students discover their passion for science and take meaningful steps toward STEM careers.
