I'm hosting Neural Knitworks 11 - 1 then break for famous scientist re-enactment by Mr Steve Crum and back to building our brains with the neurons created that day knitting or weaving. Neural Knitworks was created in Australia and is built on the science that when we knit neurons and listen to a conversation about neurons our neurons get excited and become stronger. The completed brain at the end of the event will be donated to University of Pennsylvania Neurology Department volunteers and a brain hat will be given to Chris Deussing as thank you for their partnership in building healthy brains.
