A Day in the Life @ The British Neuroscience Association Conference



A Day in the Life…


…is a simple and fun way for European neuroscientists to get involved in communicating what they do to the public. Using a disposable camera to document their day, neuroscientists will show the public what everyday life as a neuroscientist entails: highlighting the important research work as well as showing the human side to a career in neuroscience.

The project is sponsored by the European Dana Alliance of the Brain (EDAB).

To take part, email your postal address to: mansci@googlemail.com with A DAY IN THE LIFE in the subject line and you will receive a disposable camera pack and instructions.

Alternatively, if you are attending the British Neuroscience Association National Meeting in Harrogate from 1st to 4th April 2007, pick up a CAMERA from the EDAB stand.

Communication in Science project

Helping make sense of the Brain



As part of Brain Awareness Week 2007, Ellen and Stuart ran their popular brain workshop at The Manchester Museum. Kids and their families explored hands-on activities with young neuroscientists to gain an insight into how the brain works.
