Neuroscience Resources for Kids - Brain Awareness Week (1998)

Brain Awareness Week - 1998

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 BAW was March 16-22, 1998, but the whole month of March was a good time to get involved.
