UMPI Biology professor Dr. Scott Dobrin, students from the UMPI Bio-Medical Club, and Aroostook County high school teachers worked together to hold the 3rd Northern Maine Regional Brain Bee on Dec. 6 on the UMPI campus. This event is associated with the International Brain Bee, a not-for-profit neuroscience competition designed especially for high school students that tests their understanding of brains and the nervous system, and how they work together. More than 50 local high school students from Houlton to Fort Kent attended the event and the winner—Paige Hebert of Fort Kent Community High School—earned the opportunity to travel to Baltimore, Maryland, in March to compete in the National Brain Bee.
