Brain Awareness Week

Members of the Boston College Psychology department went to a local school and housing project to teach children about the brain this month. Hands-on activities included making a brain out of clay and learning about the lobes, making neurons out of pipe cleaners, playing pin the spinal cord on the brain and many others. This outreach and education effort was part of a global campaign to increase public awareness about brain research. Next month the group will continue the outreach by giving talks about the brain at a local senior center.

Congratulations to Michael Numan on AAAS Fellowship

On January 30, the Department celebrated Michael Numan's election to the rank of Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
