Wrapped up a great fall session with some Brain Discovery adventures on the WashU medical school campus! 👩‍🔬

Carly Honerkamp and Deb Collesano on Twitter “We had a great day on our field trip! Students toured labs, saw scientists in action, and were inspired by our neuroscientist friends.”

Want to volunteer with Brain Discovery? Now is the time to sign up! We have LOTS of school requests for our winter and spring sessions, and our "limiting reagent" is always volunteer availability! If you didn't get the scheduling email, please reach out to Sabin or Katie ASAP. And a huge THANK YOU to our volunteers who have already signed up!

Brain Discovery co-directors are on the cover of Nature!!

Brain Discoverers of all ages - check out this awesome contest!

Help us celebrate the 25th anniversary of Brain Awareness Week by designing the 2020 campaign sticker! The deadline for submissions is October 31, and the top three winners will receive cash prizes. Visit brainawareness.org/sticker-design-contest/ for contest details.

If you have volunteered with Brain Discovery in the past, WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have a record number of new volunteers this semester who all need to shadow an experienced volunteer before they can lead sessions on their own. We are counting on YOU to get all these eager new folks up and running (and then they will be ready to train the next wave, so we'll stop bugging you!).

Do you have an hour per week to spare in October/November? If so, please let us know ASAP by replying to the email you received last week or by just commenting here. THANK YOU for powering the future of Brain Discovery!!
