Cincinnati Children’s recently hosted its fourth annual Discovery Day. During the event, more than 140 middle and high school students had the opportunity to meet our researchers and health professionals to learn about science and medical careers. Discovery Day kicked off in Sabin Auditorium with keynote remarks by Kahleb Graham, MD, who encouraged young people to be curious, ask questions, look for ways to improve and to serve others.

Most of us have some level of awareness of the gut-brain connection, as we freely use sayings like “trust your gut” or “having butterflies in your stomach.” What might be surprising, though, is that the gut and brain are so intricately linked that if communication is off, it can cause varying levels of problems – from minor to life-altering symptoms.
