BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK
UPCOMING!
March 15-21, 2010
BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK CAMPAIGN
The Dana Alliance created Brain Awareness Week in 1996 to focus worldwide attention on the benefits and progress of brain research. Held in March, Brain Awareness Week unites the efforts of universities, hospitals, patient advocacy groups, government agencies, service organizations, professional groups, and K-12 schools around the world in an annual celebration of the brain. Now entering its thirteenth year, the Brain Awareness Week campaign includes more than 2,000 partners in 69 countries and benefits from the participation of key stakeholders such as the Society for Neuroscience and Pilot International, whose broad reach and chapter base have helped expand this grassroots effort into a truly global initiative.
During Brain Awareness Week, campaign partners, as diverse as they are, share one thing in common: the desire to convey the wonders of the brain and nervous system and the far-reaching influences and outcomes of neuroscience research to the public through exciting and innovative events. These include open houses at neuroscience laboratories, museum exhibits on the brain, lectures on an array of brain-related topics, and classroom workshops where students get a close-up view of real brain specimens. The Dana Alliance also coordinates its own events in celebration of Brain Awareness Week. The Alliance participates in the International Brain Bee, an academic competition that tests the neuroscience knowledge of high school students, by organizing regional Brain Bees in New York City and Washington, DC.
