Finding ways to excite the general public about fundamental science and make the messages from scientists stand out will ensure that today's research has the most impact on tomorrow's policy and practice. In 2017–2018, the RTC launched two outreach initiatives, neuroBRITE and the Brain and Cognition Course, to educate the public about the research done at Baycrest and provide an opportunity for trainees to learn how to present complex research in an engaging, accessible, and captivating manner.
