DID YOU KNOW?

YOUR BRAIN CAN POWER A LIGHT BULB! 🧠 💡

Your brain generates about 20 watts of power, which is enough to light up a small bulb while it processes millions of signals every second. Talk about brainpower!

Want to learn more about the brain and how it shapes our lives?

C2ST, in partnership with Worldview Studio, Alivio Medical Center, Bethel New Life, Chicago Botanic Garden, and the The Encompassing Center will be hosting, Mind Matters: A Community Conversation on Brain Health.

This is an inclusive opportunity to explore how our brains shape the ways we think, feel, and act. Discover practical tips for maintaining a healthy brain and connect with local organizations dedicated to mental well-being and neurological research. Brain-healthy refreshments and take-home materials will be available for participants.

The program is sponsored by the Dana Foundation.

We hope to see you all there!
