March 11-19, 2017
Brain Week RI activities are mostly free, and open to anyone. Most of our evening events are appropriate for older children and adults. Younger children will find great activities at the Brown Brain Fair.
We are excited this year to present Elyn Saks, Professor of Law, Psychology, and Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California Gould Law School, as Brain Week RI’s keynote speaker. Professor Saks is also an advocate for those living with mental illness, and lives with schizophrenia herself. She is a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship (the “genius grant”), and founded the Institute for Mental Health Law, Policy, and Ethics with the funds. She is also the author of four books, including her riveting memoir The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey through Madness.
