Projekt 48
Bridging the gap between
Neuroscience, Social Work, and Education.
Projekt 48 aims to bridge the gap between Neuroscience, Social Work, and Education.
Our name is inspired by the Egyptian surgical papyrus that systematically recorded 48 cases of brain trauma. It contains the oldest written record of the word “brain” and provides a clinical account of the anatomy of the brain, the meninges (the coverings of the brain), and cerebrospinal fluid.
The papyrus dates to roughly 1700 BC but is influenced by texts from 3000 BC. It is known to be the oldest medical document to employ the scientific method and has lived at the New York Academy of Medicine since 1948.
