Shoutout from FCAI on my NSF Award
The NSF GRFP is a tremendous achievement and a testament to Hari's hard work, dedication, and innovative research approach. As a neurodivergent individual, Hari brings a unique perspective to the field of Neuroscience, and his work, with its potential to make a significant impact on the lives of the community, is truly inspiring.
At the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation, we are committed to promoting neurodiversity and providing opportunities for individuals like Hari to flourish in science and engineering. We believe that neurodiversity is a strength, and we are proud to support Hari and other neurodivergent researchers in their quest to make a difference in the world.

TedX
It was a such an honor and privilege to get the opportunity to give a TedX Talk.
This is the recording of my TedX Talk: https://www.
News coverage of the event by the Frist Center.
In the spirit of spreading ideas, TEDx is a program that brings people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, live speakers and TEDTalks videos combine to spark profound conversations and connections in a small group.
The upcoming TEDxFolsom High School Youth event promises to be an inspiring experience. The speakers are prepared to unleash their inner selves, share their stories and emotions, and spread the one idea everybody has been waiting for. They aim to bring change to the community and show their spark to the world. The event will allow high school students to stand alongside adults and unleash their hidden power.
One of these speakers will be FCAI’s own Hari Srinivasan, Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering Fellow. This event is open to the public, and tickets are available here.

Hari Srinivasan: "Pebbles in the Pond of Change"
FCAI would like to congratulate Hari Srinivasan on his recent keynote address an the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development
My Duke Keynote was one of the highest attended in the 10 year history of Duke Autism Summer Series
WITH MORE THAN 275 ATTENDEES FROM 12 COUNTRIES, THE PRESENTATION WAS AMONG THE HIGHEST ATTENDED IN THE 10-YEAR HISTORY OF THE DUKE AUTISM SEMINAR SERIES
On April 3, 2024, Hari Srinivasan presented the keynote address in the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development's 2023-24 Autism Seminar Series, in recognition of Autism Acceptance Month.
A self-advocate, Srinivasan is a PhD student in neuroscience at Vanderbilt University, an alumnus of the University of California, Berkeley, a Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow, a NISE fellow at the Frist Center for Autism & Innovation at Vanderbilt University, and a public member of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee. He is a member of the Duke ACE Advisory Committee.
In his presentation, "Redefine the Table," Srinivasan illuminated the critical need for autistic individuals not just to sit at the table where autism is discussed, but to fundamentally redefine the table itself. He invited participants to consider a shift in perspective from binary views of autism to a more integrated approach that recognizes the complex, multifaceted experiences of autistic individuals.
Through his personal narrative and professional insights, Srinivasan underscored the importance of redefining the conversation around autism and disability to foster true belonging, inclusivity, and meaningful support across the lifespan. This redefinition calls for embracing multiple aspects of disability.
He advocates for both strengths-based opportunities as well as challenge-based solutions, acknowledging the diverse needs and potential of autistics across the spectrum. His talk challenged the audience to reconsider their perspectives around disability to achieve equity in social, medical, and research spaces.

NSF Grad Research Fellowship History
Some interesting history about the NSF Graduate Research fellowship award that I just got.
I did not know this was the oldest award.
The GRFP has a long history of investing in students with demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. The investments have paid off well: Among more than 200 Nobel laureates who have had NSF support, 40 were selected as Graduate Research Fellows. GRFs are also well-represented among government leaders, business executives, writers, and members of the National Academy of Sciences--from Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, to Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt.
From their website
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program is the country's oldest fellowship program directly supporting graduate students in STEM fields. Since 1952, NSF has selected more than 46,500 students to receive graduate research fellowships, out of more than 500,000 applicants. Forty of the GRFs have gone on to become Nobel laureates, and more than 440 have become members of the National Academy of Sciences.The GRFP has a long history of investing in students with demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering.

Some amazing gracious words about me from Prof Keivan Staussun of Vanderbilt University and Director of the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation at Vanderbilt. Thank you Keivan, and I had never quite though of myself as a "thought leader."
