BrainBucks
With the help of our many dedicated volunteers, the 神经科学卓越中心 (CEN) coordinates numerous outreach events. 每年, volunteers bring interactive lessons about the brain into local public schools, assist with helmet fittings to promote brain safety, help high school students prepare for the Brain Bee competition, 并协助一年一度的大脑博览会. As a show of appreciation for all of your hard work, the CEN is pleased to offer BrainBucks.
BrainBucks可以由学生赚取, 专业人员, and faculty for the time they dedicate to neuroscience community outreach. BrainBucks can be used to help support lab functions, 研究项目, 或者只是为了赢得奖品而积累. Most importantly, BrainBucks are a way for us to say thank you.
- 谢谢你在学校做志愿者, teaching children about the importance of brain safety, 以及脑损伤的后果.
- Thank you for volunteering at the Annual 大脑公平, welcoming the community to campus so they can experience the exciting world of neuroscience.
- Thank you for volunteering in the community, helping to educate the public about the science of addiction.
- Thank you for working with the Goulet Foundation, delivering helmets to thousands of Maine children.
- 谢谢你的传播, extending the impact of your work by letting the public know more about its day-to-day implications.
BrainBucks can be earned by volunteering for CEN-sponsored events. This includes the neuroscience K-12 outreach 程序, 年度大脑博览会, 头盔赠品, 和其他CEN功能. 除了, BrainBucks can be awarded for communicating with the general public about the importance of research in their daily lives. This can include stories about recent publications, 科学会议演讲, 或者学生简介. Spread the word of your great work and receive BrainBucks in return.
To receive your BrainBucks, log your volunteer hours with 迈克D 'Apice, the CEN neuroscience outreach coordinator.
BrainBucks can be used for general research support. This includes paying for laboratory supplies, charges for using the research cores and confocal microscope, 或者期刊出版成本. Or do you simply want food for your lab meeting? Cash in some BrainBucks to help nourish your students. 学生 can accumulate BrainBucks over the course of the year to earn prizes.
