Scientifica News

Brain Awareness Week is a yearly, global initiative founded by the Dana Foundation aimed at increasing public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research.

Scientifica is proud to be part of a week where organisations and research centres around the world get involved in events to share information about neuroscience and the benefits of brain research. For 2014, Scientifica teamed up with local schools to present interesting science research and brain facts to students.

Scientifica's Dr Fabrizio Sitzia went to Uckfield Community Technology College (UCTC) and spoke to Year 10 classes about the science behind sleep, dreams and the curious case of the "zombie ant".

Pupils commented;

'The Scientifica talk was excellent in many ways, it went into great depth and detail and tackled really interesting questions in a good fun way.'
