Brain Awareness Week – March 16-22
Brain awareness week “is an international campaign dedicated to advancing public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research.” It was founded by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives back in 1996, and has grown from celebrating just one day to an entire week.
