The Franklin Institute presents:
The Human Brain ? Research and Rewards
Free Live Webcast Program

Target Audience: Students in grades 8 through 12

Tuesday, April 27, 2004

3:30 - 3:55PM EDT
    Join Dr. Nancy Bonini, from the University of Pennsylvania and the
    Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Kerry Sautner from The Franklin
    Institute for a student-friendly exploration of the human brain. See
    how the Segway Human Transporter mimics the functionality of the
    human brain. Examine preserved human brain cross-sections. Learn
    about the field of neurogenetics, which is transforming our
    understanding of the brain. Find out how research scientists spend
    their days.

    This program will prepare students to watch the Bower Symposium
    (described below.) The Bower Symposium is a rare opportunity for
    students to observe a professional science symposium. The content
    may likely be too advanced, but a few minutes of the event provides
    a valuable glimpse into the profession.

4:00 - 5:30PM EDT
    All audiences are invited to the LIVE broadcast of The Franklin
    Institute Bower Award Symposium
    <http://www.fi.edu/tfi/exhibits/bower/04/04symposia.html>

    Co-sponsored by The Franklin Institute and the David Mahoney
    Institute for Neurological Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania

    Dr. Seymour Benzer, recipient of the 2004 Bower Award and Prize for
    Scientific Achievement in the field of Brain Research, will share
    his "Adventures in Neurogenetics."
