I look forward to presenting work looking at the intersections of Bharatanatyam and neuroscience for "The Artful Mind: A Celebration of the Brain, Art, and Wellness" at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute. 

In May 2024, I had the privilege of interacting with young students at Stuyvesant High School as part of the students' Art immersion Project. Thank you to Maya Soni for the invitation and to Caleb Lee for the beautiful photos (below). 

In May 2024, I am offering a movement workshop and networking at New York Hall of Science STEM Career Expo. The target audience is high school and college aged students. 
The aims of  the event are as follows: 

• "To expand and diversify the ways youth think about STEM careers.
• To expose youth to a broad range of careers available in the STEM field.
• Provide youth with opportunities to learn from the experiences of diverse STEM professionals within STEM fields." ​

"This event brings together STEM organizations, colleges, universities, STEM professionals, and companies to provide high school, college students and their adult chaperones with the opportunity to learn more about resources and prospects that can support them as they explore STEM based careers. This inclusive event also recognizes and celebrates the intersectionality of STEM with other fields, such as the arts, sustainability, literacy, advocacy and much more." 

Beautiful programs for Saṃbhūya: Understanding the Brain through Dance: A Bharatanatyam Recital have been made by Jessica Lino at The City College Center for the Arts. These programs can be found here as well as in the document below:
