Presidential Lectures are a series of free public colloquia spotlighting groundbreaking research across four themes: neuroscience and autism science, physics, biology, and mathematics and computer science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are designed to foster discussion and drive discovery within the New York City research community. We invite those interested in these topics to join us for this weekly lecture series.
Clinical psychologist Catherine Lord and neuroscientist Steven Hyman present their conceptual frameworks of autism, and their recommendations for moving the field forward.
Commentator Eric London, of the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, provides post-discussion commentary from a physician’s perspective.
