Calvin Brooks, a student in Dr. Raghu Krishnamoorthy's lab, recently presented on the impacts of the visual system on aviation to Civil Air Patrol cadets. The Civil Air Patrol is the Auxiliary to the U.S. Air Force, and, aside from providing volunteers for disaster relief efforts, it has a cadet program for teens that focuses on building leadership and STEM skills. Calvin has been teaching aerospace and STEM in the Civil Air Patrol - when he is not in the NTERI lab. NTERI helped to make Calvin's presentation possible.
