The Latest From Our Speakers'
Series
Dr. Jeremy Alden Teissere, an Associate Professor of Biology and Neuroscience and the
Director of the Neuroscience Program at Muhlenberg College recently spoke at the
Princeton Library.
His scholarship focuses on resolving the structure and function of the GABAA receptor, the
major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptor in the mammalian brain and the primary target of
tranquilizing drugs. Using a multimodal approach, the Teissere laboratory integrates
techniques borrowed from molecular biology, biochemical modeling, neurophysiology, and
pharmacology to understand the molecular basis of anxiety and its therapeutic control.
Prior Speakers Included:
Dr. Susan Neiman, Director of the Einstein Forum in Potsdam, Germany. Dr. Susan
Neiman, studied at Harvard University and the Free University of Berlin. She taught at Yale
University, Tel Aviv University and then moved on to the Einstein Forum. Dr. Neiman is the
author of Moral Clarity.
Dr. Robert Kegan, a Harvard Professor, presented, "The Hidden Curriculum of Everyday
Life." Dr. Kegan used humorous stories to demonstrate the findings of a lifetime of
research into the needs for adults to continue self-examinations of their capacities to
understand themselves and the world they live in.
Sentience looks forward to future speakers of this caliber in the near future.

First Annual SUN Network
Conference
Our first annual SUN Network Conference went off with great success.
The SUN Initiative is Sentience Foundation’s new conference series is designed to
encourage exciting young minds to join the field of science, particularly neuroscience.
The SUN Network stands for Sentience Undergraduate Neuroscience Network. The SUN
network program is dedicated to establishing communication, the sharing of scientific
information and engendering a passion for a science career amongst undergraduate
students, while providing a means for these budding scientists (below the graduate school
level), and their respective faculties to meet, share information and generate excitement for
the study of neuroscience study.
The SUN Network will enable young neuroscientists from quality undergraduate schools
with neuroscience programs to communicate in person and electronically, share
information and motivate one another. Seminars, the Sentience website and newsletters
will facilitate this process, ending in a new generation of students who go on to graduate
schools in neuroscience or medical school, which in turn, will benefit us all.
