In honor of Brain Awareness Week, which starts Monday, March 16, Posit Science is making available an array of tools to educate consumers about the brain and to promote brain health. Among those tools are videos about fun brain facts, a crossword puzzle with a brain theme —- even a brain speed test.
I did this video for the Brain Fitness folks at Posit Science a couple of years ago. In the spirit of full disclosure: I am not, and never have been, an employee or stakeholder of Posit Science. I have also not been reimbursed or paid - well, other than a neat tour of their offices and lunch. I’m just a very satisfied customer who wanted to get the word out that there was help for cancer patients suffering from the effects of ‘chemobrain’.
