RHS Science Talk by UW MacArthur Genius Award Winner
From the Roosevelt Parent Bulletin for anyone interested:
"Roosevelt Science Boosters present a “Science in Society” evening talk by Associate Professor Yoky Matsuoka from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington. Date and time: May 6 at 7.30 pm, at Roosevelt HS (the talk will either be in the theatre or library; more details will follow). Her talk is entitled “Robots, Brain, and Body". Dr. Matsuoka directs the Neurobotics Laboratory where robotic models and environments are used to understand the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of human limbs. In parallel, robotic systems are developed to augment, replace and rehabilitate damaged sensorimotor functions. Please see UW website for more information about the talk and speaker: UW Science Booster Speakers."
Yoky is one of those beautiful (sigh) and accomplished (top teen tennis player in Japan but she got injured and turned to science) people you'd like to hate but she's so kind and brilliant, you can't. It should be a great talk.
