THINK ABOUT IT.. 

The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health organized a successful School Outreach Program since 2009 and it’s now time to plan for 2013. The program, rebranded ‘THINK ABOUT IT’, entails a neuroscientist visiting a school and talking to Year 10-12 students about aspects of the brain or a career in medical research. 

The talks can range between 20-45 min including discussion and are organized during Brain Awareness Week (11-17th March, 2013). Some schools request topics and they try to match the topic with the neuroscientist’s expertise as we find this to be a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health is looking for neuroscientists who would like to share their knowledge. The good news, there is no age limit on participation, everyone is welcome!
Hope you can be involved.
