Brain Food is designed for graduate students, but undergraduate students who are writing an Undergraduate Honours Thesis or writing extensive research papers may also attend. Brain Food Online is delivered via CourseLink, and you can register and complete the self-paced workshops at any time. Most workshops include pre-recorded lectures, short activities, and access to supplementary resources. You can spend up to 15 hours on Brain Food workshops, or less than one hour, depending on your interests.
