BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK is March 16-20 and the Winnipeg Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience is excited to be very active this year. Dr. Sari Hannila is the Director of Outreach and she is busy organizing several events with outstanding potential.
Events during this week include:
* Cafe Scientifique on concussion
* Visit and public lecture by Canada Excellence Research Chair, Dr. Matthew Farrer
* Brain Bee for Manitoba students
* Laboratory tours for students and public
These events require volunteers to help with tasks such as:
* Brain Bee question design and judging (Faculty needed)
* Greeters and guides for registration and helping students/families find their way (Anyone suitable for this)
* Laboratory tours and demonstrations (Anyone with PI approval)
* Miscellaneous tasks (Anyone)
Please consider helping out where you can to make these events successful. PI's please chat with your staff and trainees about helping. Then, let Sari Hannila know about your willingness to participate at sari.hannila@umanitoba.camailto:sari.hannila@umanitoba.ca ASAP.
