Brain Awareness Week is Approaching: March 12–18th, 2012

Brain Aware­ness Week (BAW) is the glob­al cam­paign, orga­nized by the Dana Alliance for Brain Ini­tia­tives, to increase pub­lic aware­ness of the progress and ben­e­fits of brain research. Every March, BAW unites the efforts of part­ner orga­ni­za­tions world­wide in a cel­e­bra­tion of the brain for peo­ple of all ages. Events are lim­it­ed only by the orga­niz­ers’ imag­i­na­tions and include open days at neu­ro­science labs; exhi­bi­tions about the brain; lec­tures on brain-relat­ed top­ics; dis­plays at libraries and com­mu­ni­ty cen­ters; class­room work­shops; and more.

SharpBrains.com, as a BAW Out­reach Part­ner, will pub­lish a spe­cial series of Fea­tured Per­spec­tives in March, and  offer the online course How to Be Your Own Brain Fit­ness Coach in 2012.
