Each spring, UTM students and Drs. Gathers and Merwin participate in Brain Awareness activities. Brain Awareness Week is a worldwide initiative which promotes awareness of brain research, supported by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and the Society for Neuroscience.

 

This celebration of brain awareness includes two major activities. First, students, faculty members, and community members are invited to attend the Oliver Sacks Neuroscience Tribute presentation. Past speakers included, Dr. Lisa de le Mothe from Tennessee State University and Dr. Max Fletcher from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

 

Second, under the guidance of Drs. Gathers and Merwin, UTM students present brain awareness activities to attendees at Discovery Park of America (Union City, TN). Information and activities about the brain are set up throughout the center to engage children and adults in brain-based learning activities.
