Gage also holds an adjunct position in the Department of Molecular & Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor[2].
Early Life and Education[edit]
Born in the United States, Gage pursued an early interest in electronics and computers. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Michigan State University and subsequently a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Michigan[2]. His research involves creating affordable neurotechnologies.
Career[edit]
During his doctoral studies, Gage and his labmate Tim Marzullo established Backyard Brains in 2009. The company aims to broaden accessibility to neuroscience by offering experiment kits designed for educational use. These kits have been adopted in various schools and institutions globally[3].
Gage's professional endeavors include advocating for neuroscience education. He has participated in public events and has delivered multiple TED Talks demonstrating neuroscience experiments involving invertebrates, humans, and plants[4].
In 2022, he contributed to the field's literature by co-authoring "How Your Brain Works"[5], a book detailing open-source methods for electrophysiological signal recording.
Awards and Recognition[edit]
Gage's contributions to neuroscience education have been recognized with awards, including the Society for Neuroscience Next Generation Award in 2010[6], the White House Champion of Change award in 2013[7], and the Tibbetts Award from the United States Small Business Administration in 2020[8]
