Children wearing brainy shirts.Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a nationwide effort organized by the Dana Foundation and the Society for Neuroscience to promote the public and personal benefits of brain research.  For 2024 Brain Awareness Week, the University of Washington and the PCC SfN will host a “Speakers Bureau” with neuroscientists interested in discussing their work with elementary, middle and high school students.

If you are interested in participating in the Speakers Bureau and speaking with precollege students, please contact Eric Chudler.

Welcome

Poster session.The Pacific Cascade Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience was created to support research and education among practicing neuroscientists and the public at large. We count among our members about 300 students, staff, and faculty members at the University of Washington and other local institutions in the Puget Sound area.

Our main activities are to promote learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students and enhance the teaching of neuroscience to precollege students and teachers. We also sponsor travel awards to support participation of students in national or international meetings.

We are part of the Society for Neuroscience based in Washington, DC.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
