College of Charleston student Alix Generous, a biology major, talks about her passion for science -- a passion that culminated in her presenting original undergraduate research regarding quorum sensing and coral reefs to more than 1,000 United Nations delegates in the fall 2012 in India. While her research is both compelling and groundbreaking, Generous' life with Asperger's and her insight into the power of that syndrome to fuel her scientific mind are perhaps the most inspiring and remarkable.

Alix Generous' talk was part of in!Genius, a College of Charleston event sharing the personal stories of artists, scientists, scholars and industry professionals -- all either CofC students, professors, staff or alumni. Check out more of the speakers of in!Genius at http://ingenius.cofc.edu
