Protect Your Brain
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! What do an egg, a jar of water, and a helmet have in common? They’re all part of this hands-on demo that reveals how your brain stays safe inside your skull. Watch how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cushions the brain from everyday jolts and what happens when that protection isn’t enough. Then, learn why helmets matter and how to wear one properly to prevent injury during sports and play. Stop by and discover the science behind staying safe!
