Description: Interact With Kids Around the Country Using the Access Grid: An Electronic "Open House." Employees are invited to bring their children to the NLM Collab (Bldg. 38A; Room B1N30F) to see the Access Grid, a technology developed at Argonne National Laboratory enabling people at many different locations to meet virtually and see, hear and interact with each other in real time. Several universities and research centers will have their Access Grids on display for their visiting daughters and sons. Several sites will be online throughout the day. Although we cannot guarantee there always will be children at the other sites because of scheduling and time zones differences, there will be other adults present at remote sites and we're happy to at least demonstrate the technology.

In our lab we are interested in how information from the outside world is brought into the brain. We use simple animals, insects, to study how the brain receives and processes information about the olfactory world. Come meet our insects and see what they can show us about the sense of smell, and how the brain processes information.
