LISA DINH
Lisa Dinh is a student at Columbia University studying Human Evolutionary Biology, with a focus on Neuroscience. She believes in applying her research skills and background in the sciences to advocate for human rights and equity in education. To that end, she works in the Public Programs team at The Zuckerman Neuroscience Institute developing programs that focus on science literacy and engagement with the local Harlem and South Bronx community. By representing the Zuckerman Institute in creating and sustaining long-term partnerships with renown and grassroots community organizations, she helps produce and facilitate interdisciplinary neuroscience programming. Previously, and still as a volunteer, she focused on Saturday Science, a learning program provided at no cost to local families and children on weekends. She managed the program publicity, statistical impact analysis, and scientific content in partnership with Columbia University Neuroscience Outreach (CUNO), Columbia Neuroscience Society (CNS) and BioBus.
Lisa also serves as 1 in 4 of Columbia University’s Innovation Fellows, for which she trained in design-thinking and affective neuroscience through Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Design School to learn about accessibility and inclusion for students with disabilities. This fellowship is in keeping with her belief in interdisciplinary work and love for combining principles of the arts and sciences in support of social justice.
In her spare time, Lisa loves exercising via bike, ball, or boat, reading, and exploring the arts — all with friends and family.
