An Evening with Neuroscience 2023
Most of us take for granted that the brain and its 86 billion neurons quietly goes about the business of being “you” without much fuss. It senses the environment, coordinates movement, processes thoughts, stores and recalls memories, and replays one song over and over and over again.
An Evening with Neuroscience is a celebration of that remarkable brain in your head. This event is an opportunity for the public to engage directly with the expansive, interdisciplinary field of neuroscience. We invite researchers, psychologists, and clinicians to discuss up-and-coming research, dispel myths, answer your questions submitted prior to the event, and share a few brainy laughs with the public. We also have a variety of fun games and activities for you, so that you can test your brain about brains! EVERYONE is invited to participate.
So, come join us for an informal, casual, and fun opportunity to learn about neuroscience. EVERYONE is invited – no neuroscience background needed! Strike up a conversation, ask a question, and learn more about the “mush between your ears!”
EWN 2023 is set to take place from 6-9 PM on Friday, May 5, 2023, in a hybrid format. The in-person event will take place in Kane Hall Room 130 (the Roethke Auditorium), and the event will also be livestreamed to YouTube. Below is a rough schedule:
6:00 – 7:00 PM: Pre-Panel Events: human brain demonstration, art gallery, and interactive neurotechnology showcase
7:00 – 7:15 PM: Seating and Introduction
7:15 – 7:55 PM: Panel Discussion
7:55 – 8:05 PM: Intermission
8:00 – 9:00 PM: Live Q&A
A food truck will be available on Red Square outside Kane Hall before the event, during intermission, and after the event!
This year, we aim to establish a wider online presence with a focus on expanding beyond the Seattle area and reaching those with the least access to neuroscience education. More information regarding in-person and online accessibility is located on the Access page. If you have suggestions for how we can improve our event’s accessibility, or would like to request a specific accommodation, please do so here.
