Native San Antonian talks Neuroscience
Melissa Saenz, Ph.D. is an active researcher on Computation & Ne
ural Systems at California Institute of Technology. She is part of the distinguished speaker series for the MindScience Foundation. This series stopped in her very own hometown San Antonio at the historic Pearl Brewery. I attended the series and it was a very informative, enlightening presentation. Majority of the audience were not scientists so she had to present in a way that would relate to her audience. I understood so she definitely did a good job! Her discussion covered Seeing With Sound: Human Blindness and Sight Recovery. I am not going to begin to explain what she discussed because I will mess it all up but you can check out her site to learn more. She is a graduate of Clark High School and her parents are close friends of our family which is how we found out about this discussion. She also had a write up in The Current and I believe other prints.
It is so great to see San Antonio natives make a difference in the world just as Melissa is actively doing.
