The Annual McMaster Brain Bee would not be possible without the help of our volunteers.
We would like to thank the more than 35 volunteers
(staff, faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students from PNB and MiNDS).
Thank You! Without you, the brain bee would not happen!

The 6th Annual McMaster Brain Bee was held on February 19, 2008,
in the Psychology Building (Lecture Hall 155), at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario.
The 6th Annual McMaster Brain Bee will be held in February of 2009 (exact date to be announced).
