SUMMARY:Science for All Summit
DESCRIPTION:Morehead Planetarium and Science Center hosted the inaugural Science for All Summit in April 2023 and the second annual Summit in February 2024. We are already looking forward to hosting the third annual Summit on March 3-4\, 2025. \n\n\n\nThe Summit is a community convening to advance access and opportunity in the fields of science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) for people of all backgrounds and lived experiences. The purpose of the Summit is to engage educators\, practitioners\, researchers\, thought leaders\, and other change agents in conversation and knowledge-building around emerging issues and innovative strategies related to advancing access in STEM. Putting these ideals into practice requires an intentional focus on creating authentic and adaptive environments while simultaneously cultivating a community that collaborates\, innovates\, and implements promising practices shown to effect sustainable change. At the Summit\, we will provide opportunities to share new research findings\, exchange resources\, discuss strategies\, and demonstrate effective practices and interventions. \n\n\n\nThe 2025 program will include keynote addresses by Dr. André Isaacs\, Dr. Valencia Hicks-Harris\, Dr. Terrell R. Morton\, and Dr. Crystal Harden. \n\n\n\n\nLearn more about the Summit

SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe | Brain-Machine Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Connecting Minds with Machines\n\n\n\nJoin us for the next installment of the Carolina Science Cafe\, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free\, current science awareness program. For the March Cafe\, we will be joined by Dr. Amol P. Yadav from the UNC-NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill to discuss his research on brain-spine interfaces\, multi-animal brain-nets and closed-loop stimulation. \n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, this program explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the headlines. The Carolina Science Cafe is hosted at Haw River Tab & Table in Carrboro on Tuesday\, March 4th\, starting at 6:00 p.m. with light appetizers available for all attendees. Parking is available in the parking deck behind the building if the lot out front if full. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Amol Yadav is an Assistant Professor in the UNC-NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill. He earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2015 from Duke University in the laboratory of Dr. Miguel Nicolelis\, where he developed tools to advance brain-machine interfaces using spinal cord neuromodulation\, and pioneered technologies such as brain-spine interfaces\, multi-animal brain-nets and closed-loop stimulation \n\n\n\n\nHis research lies at the intersection of Neuroscience and Engineering\, and his lab specializes in spinal cord stimulation\, high-density neural recording\, computational modeling\, behavioral experimentation in rodents and human clinical trials with invasive technologies. To advance translational ideas and to bridge the gap between pre-clinical and clinical research\, the lab collaborates with surgeons\, clinicians\, basic scientists\, and other engineers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Carolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!
