Despite migraine being the sixth-most-debilitating illness in the world—with healthcare and lost productivity costs estimated to be as much as $36 billion in the U.S. alone—why it occurs and how it propagates in the brain has not been well understood.

Undergraduate Research Spotlight

When FAMU-FSU Engineering student Bobby Haney first tried to explain to his parents that he wanted to continue going to school after graduating, his parents were less than enthusiastic. After all, as a chemical engineering graduate with his bachelor’s degree he could get a job with a guaranteed income right away. Haney explained that this is the type of decision that students who come from low-income situations like his have to face when thinking about pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree.
