Anna Smeragliuolo

I am an animator and graphic designer with a B.S. in Neuroscience from the University of California, Los Angeles. I have combined these seemingly disparate interests in endeavors ranging from 3D molecular visualization to EEG performance art. My research focus centers on incorporating thoughtful design and improved visual literacy into the practice of science in order to broaden the dissemination of scientific understanding. MindMe is a project that became incredibly close to my heart after my father's death by suicide this past Christmas. Accordingly, I am extremely passionate about mental health awareness and suicide prevention. My father spent his career as a social worker, teaching and treating adolescents with behavioral disorders. Please help me carry on his legacy of good work by donating to our cause.
