Pathways to research: Connecting with scientists

By Daniel Strain / August 2, 2012

That’s no hairnet: Emily Prentiss and brain scientist John Butler practice attaching special probes to the head of a fellow researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. These probes record the brain’s electric pulses and helped Prentiss study how the organ reacts to sudden changes in the environment. The young student was able to complete the project with Butler’s guidance. Credit: Courtesy of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine
