Brain Awareness

Dr. Spitzer is the co-founder of the Brain Awareness Program at Marshall University and the director of Marshall’s annual Brain Expo.

The Brain Awareness Program is partnered with the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, an international effort to educate the public about the nervous system and neuroscience research, and with the Society for Neuroscience.

Our main annual event is Brain Expo, which is held at the Memorial Student Center every spring. Here, Marshall undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty present fun hands-on stations about the brain and nervous system to WV elementary school students. More information and pictures are available here.
