The record so far

Stanford Summer of Neurosciences 2026

Virtual neuroscience program (July 7 – July 30, 2026) built around three parts: a weekly Journal Club analyzing primary research papers, Career Insights sessions with clinicians and researchers from across the field, and select Stanford Neurology and Neurosurgery Grand Rounds. I prepared questions for every guest session, wrote up what I learned, and turned several of the conversations into short explainer episodes: What the Doctors Taught Me at Summer of Neurosciences →

Stanford CNI-X 2025 Youngest, rising freshman · Session 2

Selective, application-based two-week immersion (July 21 – August 1, 2025) with Stanford med-school faculty: clinical neuroscience, neuropsychiatry, design thinking via the Saggar lab method, and large-language-models in behavioral health. I was the youngest student in the cohort and the only rising freshman. Our six-person team capstone, A.R.A.I.A., an AI aphasia-therapy app, was presented to Stanford faculty, staff, and families, and I want to take it further toward a clinical pilot.

Reading from the program

Brain Facts: A Primer on the Brain and Nervous System (Society for Neuroscience). I’d had this open since 8th grade, and it became the baseline I kept coming back to during CNI-X. Each chapter is short and sourced; a lot of what later showed up in my HarvardX coursework I had already first met here. Read it free on brainfacts.org →
