    Carol Rifelj Lecture Series: Kate Gridley Presents The Story Behind "Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory"

    Sponsored by:
    Dean of Faculty

    “Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory” is a multi-media installation, premiering at the Kent Museum, in Calais, VT, in September, in which I explore how we create, store, and access memory. While there have been theories of how the brain works for millennia, we only have accurate imagery of brain structures based on dissection spanning from the 1860s (drawings by scientists Deiters, Golgi, Bevan-Lewis, and Dejerine, to name a few), to Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of neurons (1899 – 1930s), all the way to the colorful and beautiful photo imagery of neuronal circuits generated by supercomputers.

    Networking outreach is critical for any job search.

We’ll cover all types of outreach—from basic informational interviews, to follow-up outreach, to advocacy calls inquiring about job opportunities. Open to all students graduating in Feb or May 2026.

The participants will then have the opportunity to practice, with the workshop leader giving feedback.
