Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend a science lecture at Caltech. The event was open to everyone, but especially encouraged middle and high school classes to attend. The speaker for the lecture was geobiology graduate student, Hannah Dion-Kirschner, who combined her scientific knowledge with her passion for playing the piano to create an engaging and informative presentation that captivated audiences of all ages.
On May 3, students and schools have another chance to attend a fascinating lecture. Caltech neuroscience graduate student, Sneha Aenugu, will be talking about how her lab at Caltech studies how the human brain learns new skills using video games. Sneha, who started her career as an electrical engineer before transitioning into neuroscience, will also discuss her other interests including improvisational dancing, writing, and playing the violin, and how they have influenced her path into the field of science.
The importance of seeing the journey that scientists take to reach their career cannot be overstated. Sneha’s presentation will provide teachers with resources to further engage their students and spark their interest in science. The lecture will take place on May 3 at 10:00 am in Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium and still has space available for middle and high school classes.
For those unable to attend the lecture in person, past lectures can be watched on demand at events.caltech.edu. Your support for Colorado Boulevard’s journalism is appreciated as we strive to provide independent
