Brainy Days
Brainy Days celebrates neuroscience with events throughout the month of March to educate and engage the community about the benefits of brain research.
Every year, the Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute hosts "Brainy Days" during the month of March. It is celebration of neuroscience that features free community lectures hosted by many of our researchers and community partners that are committed to promoting brain wellness and reducing the stigma associated with brain disorders.
“Brainy Days” exemplifies Florida Atlantic’s commitment to providing the community with the knowledge needed to maintain brain health and lower one’s risk for brain diseases. Our scientists are committed to conducting world-class research, developing cutting-edge technologies, and training the next generation of neuroscientists.
