    Science on Tap at The Alley at 6:30pm! 806 Main St. W. The Superior Rivers Watershed Association is hosting Ashland’s beloved Science on Tap! Allison Allen, Northlakes Community Clinic presents: Pain and the Brain. In recent years our understanding of pain has changed; it’s NOT “all in your head” but it is (mostly) “all in your brain!” And our brains, amazing as they are, can make mistakes. This talk will walk you through the brain’s role as pain gatekeeper, and the different ways it processes and “decides” about the pain we experience over time. Along the way some tips for working with your brain to address pain will be shared as well. Allison Allen, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and the Chief Behavioral Health Officer at NorthLakes Community Clinic. She has over twenty years of experience working with a range of issues, and more recently has become fascinated by our rapidly evolving understanding of neuroplasticity, learning, pain and the brain. Every 3rd Tuesday of the month at the Alley in Ashland. Free and open to the public. Science on Tap is an opportunity for the community to hear about regional and relevant science from scientists themselves while enjoying beer, coffee and good company! Visit: www.superiorrivers.org/science-on-tap/

    Cable Natural History Museum. Beautiful Flowers on the Shore: Managing invasives, planting natives, and controlling buckthorn. From the shoreline to the hilltops, there is a lot that we can do here in the Northwoods to provide habitat and improve our lands.

He’ll also discuss ways to encourage native species so that your land is resilient and beautiful. Join us 1-2pm  at the Cable Natural History Museum, or on Zoom!
