On May 3, Caltech will host a captivating talk featuring neuroscience graduate student Sneha Aenugu. Her presentation will delve into how her lab at Caltech studies the human brain’s ability to learn new skills through video games. As an electrical engineer turned neuroscientist, Sneha’s personal interests in improvisational dancing, writing, and playing the violin have led her to a career in science.
The one-hour presentation on May 3 at 10:00 am in Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium is open to middle and high school classes. Those who attend will gain insight into how scientists become scientists and what motivates them. Sneha will also provide teachers with resources to further engage students in science. If you can’t attend in person, past lectures can be watched on demand at events.caltech.edu.
As a journalist, I had the opportunity to attend a science lecture at Caltech that was open to everyone, including middle and high school classes. The speaker, geobiology graduate student Hannah Dion-Kirschner, impressed the audience with a presentation that combined science with her love of piano playing. It was engaging for both kids and adults.
Coming up on May 3, another exciting talk will take place at Caltech featuring neuroscience graduate student Sneha Aenugu. As an electrical engineer turned neuroscientist, Sneha will discuss how her lab at Caltech studies how the human brain learns new skills using video games. She will also share her personal interests such as improvisational dancing, writing, and playing the violin, and how they led her to a career in science.
In conclusion, if you are interested in learning more about how scientists become scientists and what motivates them, I highly recommend attending this talk on May 3 at Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium. You won’t be disappointed!
