About.This Brain Awareness page initiative was created by the Neuroscience Clubs of Mission San Jose and Washington High School, and we have since expanded to many high school neuroscience clubs across the US. We hope that by providing Neuroscience basics, we can increase community awareness and understanding of Neuroscience and inspire people to further explore the field.
|
What is Brain Awareness Week?Brain Awareness Week (BAW), organized by the Dana Foundation, is a nationwide effort to promote brain research and public understanding of Neuroscience. BAW is held annually in the third week of March.
|
This year, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we were unable to host an in-person BAW event, so we decided to move our event to an easily accessible online page. We will continue with BAW events next year.
