Margaret Reece, PhD, along with the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, is a registered partner for Brain Awareness Week, March 13 – March 19, 2017. Dr. Reece notes the week with a week-long blog tour at the Medical Science Navigator website.
“Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research,” said Dr. Reece. Founded in 1996 by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, BAW unites the efforts of partner organizations from around the world in a week-long celebration of the brain every March. Partners include universities, hospitals, service organizations, professional groups, and affiliates.
“During BAW, partners organize creative and innovative activities in their communities to educate and excite people of all ages about the brain and the promise of brain research,” she said. “Activities are limited only by the organizers’ imagination.”
The daily posts at the Medical Science Navigator site for BAW are based upon some of the sections of Dr. Reece’s book “Inside the Closed World of the Brain: How brain cells connect, share and disengage–and why this holds the key to Alzheimer’s disease.”
Topics covered during the blog tour include “How the Human Brain is Organized,” “Human Memory Formation & Recall,” Tips & Tricks for Learning Brain's Scientific Language,” “Modern Brain Imaging Research,” and “Dissecting Alzheimer's Dementia.”
