Neuroscience For Kids

brain awareness week

Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a nationwide effort organized by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and the Society for Neuroscience to promote the public and personal benefits of brain research. The official week for the next BAW was March 14-29, 2016, but any week is a good time to get involved.

The 2016 University of Washington Brain Awareness Week Open House was held on March 17, 2016 (Thursday). Scenes from the 2016 BAW Open House.
