Football on the Brain brought a 14-person team to run a session at the University of Oxford's annual alumni weekend in September 2023. After a lecture on neuroscience and football from Prof. Heidi Johansen-Berg, Prof. Holly Bridge, Morgan Mitchell, and Louise Aukland, the 50 attendees had the opportunity to try out some of our 'roadshow' activities. We enjoyed the opportunity to speak with so many alumni who are passionate about football, neuroscience, or both!
