Every year, the Dana Foundation sponsors Brain Awareness Week. It is a global initiative to broadcast the importance of progress in neuroscience research and mental health. This year, the neuroscientists and neuroscientists-in-training in our department are hosting three exciting events that everyone in the area who reads my blog, should attend. Here is the schedule. On Tuesday, we will be conducting a sheep dissection with a high school group, on Thursday, we will have a movie night (free food!!), and on Friday and Saturday, we will be participating in learning activities at the Great Lakes Science Center.

In the meantime, don’t forget to re-set your clocks (here’s an abridged history of Daylight Savings Time) and celebrate Pi Day (03.14.10).
