The Prince William Campus of George Mason University has hosted many superb educational, artistic and athletic events. At the program “Galileo’s Science Cafe,” you can hear about the latest hot topics in science and medicine that affect our everyday lives and the decisions that we make! Bring your family and friends for a free, casual, interactive science discussion. Learn from the experts and speak with them.

On Thursday evening, March 21st, the program “Sports-Related Concussion and Kids: Staying Ahead of the Game,” will take place at the Manassas Hylton Performing Arts Center’s Gregory Family Theater of Science and Technology.  The free presentation on this topic will be given by Dr. Shane Caswell, Ph.D. Co-Director, Sports Medicine Assessment Research and Testing (S.M.A.R.T.)

George Mason University faculty will explain the latest scientific and medical discoveries. As attorney Doug Landau has used his hands-on approach to protecting children from unnecessary brain injury and skull fractures through his “Lids on Kids” free bike helmet education program, he is keen to hear what the Mason researchers have to say on this topic.
