Our bright-eyed students who attended the annual Nobel Conference are working on their final products this week. One of these products is going to be a school PSA about the importance of sleep! 😴🧠 They had a blast learning from top researchers about the latest in sleep studies and circadian rhythms. Who knows, maybe they'll even discover the secret to staying awake in class! 😉 #FutureScientists#TerraNovaMN #OutoftheClassroomIntotheWorld #nobel61 #gustavusmn #SleepMatters
