📣 We had a successful in person Brain Mappers of Tomorrow 2025 Edition❗️
The Brain Mappers of Tomorrow are our signature science outreach initiative where we bring neuroscience to young minds 🧠 .
At the OHBM annual meeting in Brisbane 🇦🇺, we invited children interested in science to review scientific work written for children and youths.
This year, we also added a special segment where a group of youths gave a presentation. Our audience then got to engage in arts and crafts prepared by the wonderful BrainArt SIG.
