It's Brain Awareness Week!

March 14-20 is Brain Awareness Week. Bet you didn't know that! I laugh as I type this because I can think of many times I have often wanted to ask someone, "Are you aware that you have a brain?"

In all seriousness, I saw it advertised on one of the websites I visit for my APD research. 35% off During Brain Awareness Week. I just had to Google it and find out more about it.

Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the global campaign to increase public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. Every March BAW unites the efforts of organizations worldwide in a week-long celebration of the brain. During BAW campaign partners organize activities to educate and excite people of all ages about the brain and brain research.  Events are limited only by the organizers’ imaginations.  Examples include open days at neuroscience laboratories; museum exhibitions about the brain; lectures on brain-related topics; displays at malls, libraries, and community centers; and classroom workshops.

It sounds like BAW falls during our Spring Break each year. Maybe that's why I haven't heard of any classroom workshops... or anything brain related.

Test me, Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind. Psalm 26:2 (NIV)
