Did you know that March 16 – 22 is Brain Awareness Week ?

Well apparently, it’s a pretty big thing in the USA, but not very publicised over here in the UK.


Brain Awareness Week gives scientists an opportunity to educate people about the advances in brain research and how people can keep their brains healthy.


"During the week-long educational blitz, a variety of educational activities for the general public take place including lectures, lab tours, classroom visits, and exhibits across North America to demonstrate the importance of basic neuroscience research to the health and well-being of the American public. "


Sounds like it's something that should be happening in the UK too !

Ivor, why didn't you tell us sooner? It's already the 19th, and I could have been aware of my brain for three days already!

Sheesh...

Bridget, they need to come up with a better name !!

Ivor

No, I actually like the name! Becoming aware of my brain changed my life in so many ways. Of course maybe that isn't what the organizers had in mind, exactly....

"is that your brain parked on those double yellow lines?"
"why yes! thank you I wondered where that had gone."
"you had better move it before I give it a ticket."
"I will. Thank you."
"And take that spleen with you too."
