Apparently when my brain short circuits it plays, “I Voted for Dukakis”, a punk song I haven’t heard for 15ish years. I wish I knew why I was like this. It IS a jam though.

🎉🧠 Happy Brain Awareness Week! 🧠🎉 Let's celebrate the powerhouse that is our brain! From March 11th to 17th, join us for a week full of exciting events focused on brain health and neuroscience. Check out the poster below for more info. #BrainAwarenessWeek #HealthyMind

On March 7th, we ran an incredible event for Brain Awareness Week with the Girl Scout troop! 💡🧠 We dove into the fascinating world of neuroscience by exploring 'Information in the Brain.' Such a fun and educational session! #BrainAwarenessWeek #GirlScouts #Neuroscience

Throwback to our awesome Brain Awareness Week departmental social! Neuron keychains, science coloring sheets, and pizza galore. We had a blast taking a break and connecting with fellow department members. Check out the fun pics! #BrainAwareness #MentalHealth #GoodTimes

Excited to present this program with @mekawynarmin today!
