Our Education Lab is open year-round and hosts a variety of hands-on brain science programs in the Jerome L. Greene Science Center, located at 609 W 129th St. Designed with feedback from the community, these programs harness the groundbreaking research of the Institute in creative ways for school children, families, after-school groups and adults. Contact us to learn more about our programs; we have only just begun!

To foster a connection between the arts and the sciences, Columbia's Zuckerman Institute has established different artist-in-residence programs that sponsor visual artists, musicians and authors for a period of engagement, inspiration and discovery. Through meetings, performances, collaborations and workshops with students, scientists and our neighboring community, these programs provide a unique forum in which art and science join forces in an exploration of the mind, the brain and human behavior.
