Brain Chats are an opportunity to interact with UAB experts in neuroscience. They are every Second Saturday at 11 AM at Hoover Public Library
Brain Chats are 1 hour long, and give you an opportunity to hear a short talk about a neuroscience topic, along with informal chats with our experts about their topic. Previous topics include Alzheimer’s Disease, the impact of pollution on brain health, the impact of art therapy on the brain, and others. Come join us!

SNACKS= a short and sweet way to educate the lay public.
This includes: tabling and offering hands on demos at outreach events and creating a calendar of events happening around the area and attending.
We are starting out with the materials and demos we have for Brain Awareness week, based on the Five Senses.

Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is the global campaign to foster public enthusiasm and support for brain science. The goal of BAW is to organize events/activities that share the wonders of the brain and the impact brain science has on our everyday lives. Brain Awareness Week 2026 events were held at McWane Science Center on March 25-28, 2026!
There are a lot of people at UAB who care about making Neuroscience accessible for all. Every semester, we meet to discuss how we can work together to let our larger community know about the brain! We start each Brain Bites session with a fast and fascinating15 minute talk that’s relevant to public science outreach. Then, we eat cookies, drink tea, and spill the tea about upcoming projects.
