Doing Research Outside the Academy

Sometimes when you're doing research on a topic, you need to look beyond the article databases for information such as statistics, external studies, and experiential data. This workshop will cover finding sources from NGOs, think tanks, non-profits, and more. We'll discuss strategies for doing academic research once you no longer have access to CSUEB databases.

Join us at the Hayward Campus Library for a faculty lecture by Dr. Michael Stanton entitled "Obesity is Linked to Memory-Related Brain Changes."

When: Thursday, September 13 from 12:00 – 12:50pm
Where: Library Biella Room

Recent research in rodents has shown that, over time, obesity may lead to problems in brain function, which are linked to cognitive deficits. However, little is known about these effects in humans. We sought to understand how obesity might affect the volume of a brain area called the "hippocampus" as well as cognitive function in a sample of US Veterans.
