The BSI supports educational programs which bring together graduate students and medical students interested in brain science through a series of interdisciplinary lectures and workshops. Recent examples include monthly BSI sponsored "Brain Nights," informal lectures by Hopkins faculty members, which have hosted over 100 people at each event. This past fall, the BSI hosted a National Science School for Judges, sponsored by the judges' association ASTAR. This program brought 200 trial judges from around the country together to learn the basics of neuroscience, neurological injuries, and issues of substance abuse and psychiatry. In November, the BSI worked with the Walters Art Museum in a "convening" on Neuroaesthetics.
