Thanks to our talented team of volunteers, preparations for BAW 2011 are well underway!

Volunteers needed for Brain Awareness Week!

Sign up NOW!!!

Brain Awareness Week is an annual public information campaign created by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives in order to educate the public on the functions of the brain and the importance of brain research.  Since 1998, Montreal has participated in BAW by having graduate students from all four Montreal universities volunteer presentations at numerous elementary and secondary educational institutions.  The event has earned us considerable praise from the schools visited and from the media, while nearly all the volunteers who participated reported it to be a valuable and enjoyable experience.

This year's BAW will be taking place from March 14 to March 20th.  Many schools have registered for our presentations and we are currently calling on all students and post-docs to volunteer their time to support this great event during this week. You do not have to prepare the presentation – we will do that for you! All you have to do is pick up the kit with all the information in it and go to the school to give the presentation. Your enthusiasm and desire to teach is invaluable to the success of the BAW campaign.

Sign up now to give classroom presentations during BAW 2011!!!
