Bringing imaging to the final frontier, CBI held its first ever study group...IN SPACE.  More specifically, on the moon.  Partnering with NASA and SpaceX, a group of intrepid, interstellar researchers rode on a rocket to the moon, docking with a stunning replica of the bioengineering building, and setting up camp to scan astronauts' brains in space.  Dr. Truman Brown mentioned the benefits of such an approach, "Getting astronauts together for a brain scan on earth is like herding cats.  Better to grab them while in space, and analyze the data right there."
