The event unites scientists, educators, health organizations and other advocates with shared interests in sparking public understanding of the scope and importance of brain research activities. National sponsors are the Society for Neuroscience and the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives. Locally, members of the Alamo Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience will join other area neuroscientists for presentations at both the Witte Museum and the San Antonio Children's Museum. Exposing both youngsters and their parents or teachers to information about the brain also promotes learning and can motivate students to pursue related careers, he added. The Witte Museum presentation will be from 3 to 6 p.m. March 13 in the HEB Science Treehouse.
Admission is free.
