West Virginia University School of Medicine Student Interest Group in Neurology (SIGN) in conjunction with the Neurology Department at Ruby Memorial Hospital would like to invite students to compete in our annual Brain Bee Competition. The Brain Bee is an international competition whose primary goal is to motivate students to learn about the brain and to inspire them to pursue careers in neuroscience so they can help treat and find cures for brain disorders. This is the 20th year of Brain Bee with over 25,000 competitors last year. The students first compete at their local competition, and winners move on to the national and international competitions. The top three competitors will receive prizes and the 1st place winner of this year’s WV Brain Bee will go on to compete at the National Brain Bee held in Washington D.C. The competition is free and available to any high school student in 9th through 12th grade that resides in West Virginia.
This year’s state competition will take place on Saturday, January 25th, 2020 at WVU Health Sciences Center in Morgantown, WV. The competition consists of a written multiple-choice exam, a practical neuroanatomy exam, and a clinical scenario exam. All material needed to prepare for the competition is free and can be found at the International Brain Bee website (https://thebrainbee.org/competition/). The day will also include a tour of the health sciences campus, a neuroanatomy demonstration, free lunch and a neuroscience career panel. The Brain Bee is a great opportunity not only to learn about the brain and how it works, but to meet other students from across the state with similar interests and visit our health science campus here at WVU! Please contact me, Daniel Berrebi ([email protected]), or Jessica Frey ([email protected]) with any questions or concerns. Comments are closed.
