This year’s honoree, Dr. Terry Sejnowski, is one of the world’s foremost computer scientists and computational neuroscientists, whose visionary and ingenious work on neural networks laid the foundation for the machine learning and AI revolution that is taking the world by storm today. Dr. Sejnowski is head of Salk Institute’s Computational Neurobiology Laboratory and holder of the Frances Crick Chair. He is also a distinguished professor at UC San Diego’s School of Biological Sciences, where he is co-director of the Institute for Neural Computation. ARCS San Diego invites you to join them for a celebration of science and scientists that is set for Saturday, April 27 (4 - 8 p.m.) at The Conrad Performing Arts Center in La Jolla. In addition to honoring Dr. Sejnowski, the program will pay tribute to this year’s ARCS Scholars – all 50 of them – along with distinguished ARCS Scholar alumnus, Dr. Randall Kelley, who has served as Director of Data Science and Machine Learning at several major corporations. All funds raised at this event will support future ARCS Scholars.

Robert Glick is an artist who paints to discover ways in which language coalesces with visual composition to achieve a higher form of expression. Much of his work deals with the changing face of nature and the human condition. His talk will be based on his 2024 book, Finding Your QUANTUM SENSE - How to Enhance Mindfulness, Perception, and Creativity which argues that “QUANTUM SENSE is common sense. It is your spark of curiosity, adaptation and change found in the unravelling of the universe and the mutation of neural connections that give voice to consciousness.” For more information visit: sandiego.librarymarket.com
