AFor BAW, The Reign of the Brain hosted a 2-day event during the week of 3/15-3/21 to celebrate the nervous system. We explored a brief overview of the nervous system (which you can follow along using the slides attached below), and we learned from guests Dr. Gillian Hue, who talked about behavioral biology and neuroethics, and from Dr. Theanne Griffith, who explained how our ears work and read aloud from one of her books: The Magnificent Makers: Brain Trouble. To watch how to do some of Dr. Griffith's activities and to find ways to check out her books, please visit her website: https://www.theannegriffith.com/. Here, you will see an example of the bake-a-brain activity that is just one of many that Dr. Griffith has created and details more on her website. Additionally, Dr. Hue provided a wonderful website (https://www.brainfacts.org/) where you can go to learn even more about the brain! Also, I have attached directions on how to build your own 3-D model of a neuron, try it out! Finally, although we did not have time to play this during our session, since we had loads of fun and interesting discussions about topics such as sensation, sleep, and more, here is a link to a Gimkit to test all of your brain knowledge:

Thank you to everyone who attended our BAW events, and for those of you who weren't able to make it, try out some of the activities listed above. I guarantee they'll be worth your while!
