The main focus of Dr. Brown’s laboratory research at the University of Wyoming is determining how exposure to drugs of abuse, traumatic events and painful stimuli ultimately impacts neuroplasticity. Specifically, how regulation of the extracellular matrix mediates synaptic organization and eventually behavioral output.

Sam Glenn is known at The Attitude Guy and has become one of the most recognized Authorities on the subject of Attitude today. Sam understands success and failure. At one time, Sam was negative, broke, depressed, homeless, and got by working odd jobs at night as a janitor and delivering newspapers. Sam's attitude was in the dumps until a dear friend gave him what he calls a "Kick in the Attitude," a gift that changed his attitude for the better. Sam began to work on improving his attitude and made some personal and professional discoveries. With a new attitude in play, Sam went from sleeping on the floor and working as a janitor, to achieving dreams he once thought were unreachable. Today, Sam is the author of several success books and energizes audiences as large as 75,000 at stadium events with his inspirational speeches and humor. For the past 15 years Sam Glenn has worked with hundreds of organizations on Training and Development, Peak Performance, Employee Motivation, Staff development, Leadership Training, Fundraisers or simply kicking off an event with the purpose to create a positive tone. Great things happen when you adopt a great attitude and apply it daily. In 2011 he was named Speaker of the Year by MI Meeting and Events Magazine.
