On view in the Hayden Library Loft (Floor 1M) May 12 - September 30, 2025Throughout her life, Katharine Dexter McCormick widened the horizons of what was possible for women. A suffragist, philanthropist, and scientist, she broke boundaries from an early age, becoming one of the first women to graduate from MIT. She later went on to fund McCormick Hall, the first on-campus dormitory for women at MIT. Learn more about the exhibit

Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 Location: 46-3002 (Singleton Auditorium)Speaker: Carol Wilkinson, M.D., Ph.D. Affiliation: Assistant Professor in Pediatrics and Attending in Developmental Medicine, Boston Children’s HospitalTalk title: Early EEG markers of autism from lab to primary careAbstract: How can EEG be used to inform early brain development and facilitate early identification of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism? In this talk, I will present recent published and unpublished work using EEG during the first three year of life to both characterize early brain development and explore its potential for identifying developmental delay or autism early on. I will briefly discuss overlap in findings from typical development with genetic disorders including Fragile X Syndrome and Down Syndrome. Finally, I will present unpublished data from our Baby Steps study, which collects longitudinal EEG data in the primary care clinic setting in order to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using EEG as a screening tool in the clinical setting.
