BRAIN Day

Brain Day is a free event that allows members of BU and the Boston community of all ages to explore the wonders of the brain and nervous system. The event is staffed by undergraduates who spend more than a month preparing individual stations covering a range of brain related topics, including visualizing real brains and its different parts, comparing brains of different organisms, learning about the intricacies of motor learning, creating models of real brain cells, learning about traumatic brain injury, and more. In addition, a panel of renowned speakers in the field will offer a talk and discussion about their areas of interest and career paths in neuroscience. 

Brain day takes a lot of work, months of planning, and materials to coordinate. We will use the money to expand to more and new stations, help to promote and gain greater visibility for the event in the Boston community, and to allow anyone to attend this event by keeping it free. We appreciate donations of all amounts as any contribution gets us one step closer to funding Brain Day and promoting neuroscience education in this wonderful community.  Thank you for your time and support!
