The Brain Museum in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences made for an unusual backdrop last month when Jacobs School students, members of the Christian Medical and Dental Association, made Halloween costumes for preemie babies in the NICU at Oishei Children’s Hospital. Pastor Gregg Stierheim, a volunteer chaplain at OCH, coordinated this project with the medical students. Photos: Courtesy of Oishei Children's Hospital.
