Brain Science & the Law Café: Free informal monthly Q&A at Mangiamo Pronto! Café
Do you have cases that involve brain injury, dementia, or other brain disorders? Get your questions answered and get your caffeine fix at the same time.
Come to Mangiamo Pronto! 3-4 pm today, March 4, and Dr. Stone will answer all the questions she can: 1601 17th Street, corner of 17th and Wazee. We can talk about anything, but
today, we'll have research articles that may be relevant to cases involving Latino clients. This research raises questions
about how psychological tests may not be as valid if the client's first language is not English. Usually, the Brain Science & the Law Café will be
held the 3rd Friday of every month. Next Café: April 16th 3-4 pm.
If you can't come to the Café, call in to our free telephone Q&A, 3rd Tuesday of every month, 12 noon-12:30 pm, 303.669.8528
