Speaker bio(s)

Spend a day on campus at The Rockefeller University with renowned sensory neuroscientist A. James Hudspeth, M.D., Ph.D. to learn about the science of your senses.  Dr. Hudspeth's research lies at the interdisciplinary intersection of biology, physics, and engineering, and has led to a deepened understanding of the way information from the outside world is captured by the sensory organs and relayed to the higher centers of the brain.  A day full of presentations, question and answer sessions, demonstrations, and other fun activities.

This event is intended for high school students and their teachers only.  All attendees must be registered by their school ahead of time using the online registration form.  Space is limited (maximum of ten students per school) and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
