Dear Member for Your electorate, Name of MP,
As my local representative in the Federal Parliament, I want you to know I support the campaign for the Australian Brain Initiative.
The Australian Brain Initiative will develop treatments for debilitating brain disorders, create next generation medical and wearable neurotechnologies, and produce high-impact science that will increase our understanding of the brain.
This can only be achieved if Australia invests in Cracking the Brain’s Code.
If we fail to make a strategic national investment in brain science, Australia will fall behind while the rest of the world takes advantage of the medical, commercial, educational and technological advances.
You can find out more on the Australian Brain Alliance website.
The Australian Brain Initiative will:
- Make major advances in understanding healthy brain function.
- Create next generation medical and wearable neurotechnologies
- Drive transformative advances in brain-inspired computing
- Identify causes and develop new treatments for debilitating brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy and motor neuron disease.
- Build networks of world-leading brain scientists with the capacity to unlock the mysteries of the brain and create social, health and economic benefits for all Australians.
As my local representative, I’m asking you to show your support for the Australian Brain Initiative by becoming a Brain Champion, like me.
Sincerely,
Your name,
Brain Champion
