Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
Due to COVID-19, Lake Superior State University went to all online course delivery the week before our event was supposed to occur. Working with the library staff, we switched to a virtual set of presentations by the students in Physiological Psychology and Neurogenetics. These presentations can be found at: https://lakerblogs.lssu.edu/lakercast/series/brain-awareness-week-2020/I plan to distribute this link more broadly now that the supplemental media have been added to some of the presentations.
