Recruitment Announcement

Do you love science? Do you want to share your passion with people of all ages? Join us!

BAW is an annual event designed to bring neuroscience to the public. Since 1998, Montreal has participated in BAW by having graduate and undergraduate students from all four Montreal universities organize and run events during one week in March to promote public interest in neuroscience.

This year’s BAW will be taking place from March 10th to 16th, with school presentations running until March 23rd. Elementary school presentations will be on the five senses and High school presentations will focus on the effects of drugs.

No prior knowledge or experience necessary! You DO NOT have to prepare any presentations - we will do that for you! All you have to do is attend one training session. For school presentations you will then pick up the kit with all the information in it and go to the school to give the presentation.

To participate, fill out the online form:
