Brainwaves-NeuroEase Night

Below is an email that I received with a very unique opportunity!  I hope that your student might be available and/or interested!  I have seen Dr. Sood speak and he is very good!  It is super-cool that this opportunity is available for our kids :)

Hello All,

I am writing as our group, Brainwaves – a neuroscience outreach group based at Mayo Medical School and Mayo Graduate School, has been collaborating with the Mayo Clinic’s world expert on stress, Dr. Amit Sood MD, to create an interactive, stress management talk geared for high school students rooted in the concept of neuroplasticity. Attached is a description of the event that has been approved by the school district as well as some information about our group. 

Last year Brainwaves hosted a large event for high school students titled “Brain Awareness Week Event”. This event was quite successful and received a significant amount of positive feedback. We are hoping to have an equally as exciting and successful event this year. 

We are planning for this event to be held on April 23^rd from6-8 p.m. in the subway level of the Mayo Building at the Mayo Clinic’s downtown campus.  Dr. Sood’s talk will be held in Judd Auditorium, with activities in the Hage Atrium and Patient Cafeteria to follow.

We are excited to work together to make this a successful event for all parties. Please feel free to contact me or either of the Brainwaves co-directors, who are cc’d on this email, with any questions, comments or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Thank you for your time,

Hi, all,

The Cousers are hosting a very informal Spartan Snowman Run on Saturday at 10:30 starting from our house.  There will be two teams running to get items to decorate a snowman.  It's for all ages and abilities with hot chocolate afterwards, as supplies last.

If you want more information about this or weekend runs that will continue throughout track season, please email me at greg@productivementality.com .  (I can get you on my email list if you're not already on it.)

Links to the Mayo High School track pages can be found at the Friends of Mayo Running website at http://www.mayorunning.com .  Thanks and see you all soon!
