“I’m donating because I think art allows us to find beauty and strength in the moments when darkness tries to overcome light.”
With your help, we’ve raised a total of $1,335 to support art therapy for communities recovering from disasters. We will continue to raise funds through December 31, 2017. This means that there’s still time to donate directly or to create a personal fundraiser to assist the AATA in the development of art therapy events for relief and recovery efforts in devastated communities.

The lab responsible for launching hundreds of high-tech research careers carries the faint whiff of old fish.
Open the door, and you’ll understand why: white sand beach, blue waves, sea breezes and spectacular sunsets. For two decades, Dauphin Island Sea Lab on Alabama’s Gulf coast has been the summer home for UAB’s Introduction to Neurobiology. That’s the course that acquaints new neuroscience graduate students with classic experiments, state-of-the-art equipment, UAB research luminaries, and — perhaps most important — each other.
