We learned so much from our previous Science Cafe on Human-Centered Computing, featuring Kelsea Schulenberg, and we are excited to host another opportunity to learn something new together!

Science Café offers a relaxed, open venue for scientists and passionate individuals in Greenville, South Carolina, to come together and share their love for science. Each month, we feature engaging talks by local scientists and enthusiasts who discuss their latest work and discoveries.

For our August topic, it’s all about getting to know our BRAINS and we know someone who really KNOWS brains.

Meet our next scientist, Dr. Leigh Holcomb!

Dr. Leigh Holcomb is a life science speaker and a best-selling author. Her story called Inside My ADHD Brain: Cycling from Toxic Overwhelm to Creative Synergy has been published in the book She is an Overcomer.

Trained as a Neuroscientist, raising awareness of ADHD in girls and women as well as an underrecognized math learning disability called Dyscalculia are part of Leigh’s current educational efforts. She is an advocate and speaker on Neurodiversity in the Workplace. Dr. Leigh has been a speaker at Life Science conferences and an advocate for the advancement of Women in Science.
