Finishing off #brainawarenessweek with this screen print I designed for @lok_zine a few years ago - it has been hanging in my studio ever since and it makes me so happy. I hope I can find the time to do more of this work!

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s woman in skull (2016), not a brain per se, but the part of the skull where the brain sits, imagined as an architectural space.

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s neuraesthenia (2017), a piece depicting the heaviness I feel during post-exertional malaise (PEM). PEM often starts in my cognition then spreads out through my body.

For #BrainAwarenessWeek I’m sharing my brainiest #SciArt #embroidery pieces. Here’s a detail from the wandering ghost (2024), my piece about the vagus nerve and my experiences with polyvagal theory.

It's Brain Awareness Week. Take care of yours!

Wear a mask (COVID has implications -- bad ones -- for brain health. Get sleep (sleep rids the brain of gunk -- the vox technica - that accumulates in it). Get hearing aids if you're experiencing age-related hearing loss. Take your SSRI if you're on one (depression isn't good for the brain). Stay engaged w/ people (connected with friends; meet new ones @ #Tesla protests).

Happy Brain Awareness Week!

Caroline Montojo, president of the Dana Foundation, kicks off the 30th anniversary of this educational campaign to inspire excitement and support for brain science.

A huge thank you to the hundreds of organizers worldwide bringing special events to their communities this week and beyond! #BrainAwarenessWeek #BrainWeek #ScienceOutreach

It's #BrainAwarenessWeek. Here is an image of the #brain that appears in the #memoir I wrote with #UCSF #neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller. We included images like this in Finding the Right Words so families would know some of the geography of the #brain, and the words used to designate parts of the brain (there are so many), before going into the #doctor's office. There is also a glossary at the end of the book that defines the words. We hope readers find this helpful.

It's #BrainAwarenessWeek & one of the activities that's good for your #brain is reading. Here are some book recommendations. What would you suggest?

#PattiSmith, Just Kids
#MatJohnson, Pym
#JoanDidion, The Year of Magical Thinking
#KaitlynGreenidge, Libertie
#JasonMott, Hell of a Book
#JuliaMayJonas, Vladimir
#DashaKiper, Travelers to Unimaginable Lands: Stories of #Dementia, The #Caregiver, and the Human Brain
#PercivalEverett, The Trees
#rachelyoder, Nightbitch

Brian Lawlor, Prof. of Old Age Psychiatry @ #TrinityCollege #Dublin wrote this about my #memoir w/#Dr.BruceMiller: "In Finding the Right Words, Weinstein & Miller succeed in merging science, literature, and great storytelling to help us understand what happens to the person and the brain in Alzheimer's disease. A must-read for all who believe we must break down the silos between science and the humanities to fully appreciate what it means to live with Alzheimer's disease."

It is #BrainAwarenessWeek.

#neurologist Jeffrey Cummings said this about the #memoir I wrote with #Dr.BruceMiller: "A book that brings humanity and science together is rare, but Finding the Right Words achieves this seamlessly and elegantly. Biography, diagnosis, history of behavioral neurology, and a daughter's love converge to produce a deep understanding of how brain disease affects personhood. Read this book to understand how your brain creates your self."

Dana Foundation President Caroline Montojo welcomes you to Brain Awareness Week! During this week everyone is encouraged to take some time to learn about the brain and the impact brain science has on our everyday lives. #BrainWeek #BrainAwarenessWeek #DanaFoundation #neurosociety #neuroscience #brainsceince #stem #scicomm

How well do you know the brain?

Quiz yourself and see a cameo by yours truly, because the brain is amazing.

It's #BrainAwarenessWeek so I'm re-upping the @neuromatch virtual escape room on how math is used to model and understand decision making.
This is very biased but my 8 year old really liked it.
Also, we made it in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Hebrew and Spanish, details
