Congrats to Sarah for making it into the Gainesville Sun about her efforts during Brain Awareness Week! Here is an excerpt from the article:

"While a big mission of the week is to introduce students to neuroscience and inspire them to go into it or related fields, some of it is more instructive.

Guadiana said that with a group of kindergartners, she took a ball of yarn, which she told them to think of as a brain, and then gave a part of the strand to students spread all over the room. Then she cut the strand at various points to demonstrate what happens when disease occurs. "I got them to understand how communication is organized in the brain," Guadiana said.

She also dropped two melons: one covered with a helmet and one without, to illustrate the importance of wearing a helmet when you ride a bike."
