The series will focus on funded projects, showcase invited speakers, and profile the BHI members working in brain-heart research.

The Brain-Heart Interconnectome Café Scientific events are engaging, community-focused events designed to bridge the gap between science and the public. Events will be hosted in welcoming venues and bring together experts, patients, and members of the public to discuss innovative research on the connection between the brain and the heart. Each event will feature 3-4 speakers with interactive panel discussions and audience engagement. The events will highlight the ongoing BHI research, raise awareness of brain-heart conditions, and improve public knowledge of resources to improve brain-heart health.
