Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a nationwide effort organized by the Dana Foundation and the Society for Neuroscience to promote the public and personal benefits of brain research. The official week for BAW was March 11-17, 2024, but any week is a good time to get involved.
To participate, all you have to do is find a rock and paint it with a drawing of a brain or a neuron. It would be great if you could add a few words such as "BAW 2024" or "Brain Awareness Week." Then put your brain rock outside and take a photo of it. Please do not include any people in your photos; just your brain rock.
Upload your photo by clicking on the small + in the circle at the bottom of the Brain Rocks Padlet. Here is an example brain rock:
For 2024 Brain Awareness Week, we will host a "Speakers Bureau" with University of Washington neuroscientists interested in discussing their work with students. Teachers can now request a neuroscientist to speak with their students.
More video interviews will be uploaded soon!
