Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
Considering that our participation in Brain Awareness Week was online/virtual, the measure of local beneficent is impossible. On the other hand, we can think of the impact and the outcomes of virtual interactions, observing, for example, likes, shares, and comments on Instagram account. As so, we consider those interactions as the immediate response to our job.
