14 March 2011
This week is Brain Awareness Week (14 - 20 March 2010).What is Brain Awareness Week?
Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the global campaign to increase public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. Every March BAW unites the efforts of universities, hospitals, patient groups, government agencies, schools, service organizations, and professional associations worldwide in a week-long celebration of the brain.
Founded and coordinated by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, Brain Awareness Week (BAW) unites the efforts of organisations around the world in a week-long celebration of the brain. During BAW, partners organize creative and innovative activities in their communities to educate and excite people of all ages about the brain and brain research.
