Evolving Perspectives on Autism
Presidential Lectures are free public colloquia centered on four main themes: Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Neuroscience and Autism Science. These curated, high-level scientific talks feature leading scientists and mathematicians and are intended to foster discourse and drive discovery among the broader NYC-area research community. We invite those interested in the topic 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.
