Brain Flower project

Don't Miss It!

The word "opioid," for unfortunate reasons, has become everyday vocabulary for many. This week, Purdue is working to make opioid recovery an everyday triumph. The Brain Flower sculpture will be on campus, showing opioids’ effects. And the U.S. surgeon general, VADM Jerome M. Adams, will kick off the observance today (Nov. 18) with a talk on the subject and participation in a panel. Related events will follow.  Don’t Miss It!
