- Total Episodes: 16
I will be 70 years old in April 2021. In 1971 at the age of 20, I left Sri Lanka on a scholarship to pursue higher studies in Germany. In 1982, after my PhD, I became a lecturer at the faculty of Mineralogy at the University of Berlin. In 1991, my wife, two children and I migrated to Perth, Australia. From 1992-1995 I was time to time engaged by United Nations and Commonwealth Secretariat as an Advisor on precious minerals and worked in Ghana, West Africa. Since 1976 I have been very intrigued by Vedic Astrology and spent a lot of time learning about this unique science. As a result of my interest, I started to offer Astrology readings, as a hobby, in 1991. Eventually, that hobby became a professional platform and for the past 30 years, I have provided over 10,000 readings to clients globally. I am happy to see that there are so many individuals who have heard about Indian Vedic Astrology and are willing to learn about and investigate their Vedic Horoscope. If this is a topic that interests you, please spend some time listening to my podcasts, browse my website, or watch the videos on my YouTube channel. All these platforms have information which will help you to understand the uniqueness of this science and how I offer my consultations. My intention in introducing this podcast and my YouTube Channel is to share what I have learnt through my Astrology consultations and to consequently inspire non-believers to understand the value of this predictive science. Vedic Astrology is able to help individuals to be more content and happy through identifying their personality strengths. I also enjoy sharing the life experiences that I have gained through my almost 50 years of extensive travels and I want to inspire individuals by sharing how I have overcome certain challenges in my life.

Today’s Neuroscience, Tomorrow’s History: Uta Frith – Audio
- Publisher: UCL
- Total Episodes: 15
Supported by a grant from the Wellcome Trust to Dr Tilli Tansey and Professor Leslie Iversen, the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL presents a series of podcasts on the history of neuroscience featuring eminent people in the field: Professor Uta Frith was born on 25th May 1941 in Germany. She completed her undergraduate degree in experimental psychology at the Universitaet des Saarlandes before training in clinical psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. She completed her PhD on autism in 1968. Professor Uta Frith is best known for her research on autism spectrum disorders. Her book, Autism, Explaining the Enigma (1989) has been translated into many languages. She was one of the initiators of the study of Asperger’s Syndrome in the UK and her work on reading development, spelling and dyslexia has been highly influential. Frith’s work on theory of mind in autism proposes the idea that people with autism have specific difficulties understanding other people’s beliefs and desires. Much of this work was carried out with Simon Baron-Cohen who was her PhD student. She has also suggested that individuals with autism have ‘weak central coherence’, and are better than typical individuals at processing details but worse at integrating information from many different sources. Throughout her career she has been developing a neuro-cognitive approach to developmental disorders. In particular, she has investigated specific cognitive processes and their failure in autism and dyslexia. Her aim is to discover the underlying cognitive causes of these disorders and to link them to behavioural symptoms as well as to brain systems. She aims to make this research relevant to the education of people with development disorders and to contribute to a better quality of their everyday life. Professor Frith is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the British Academy and the Academy of Medical Sciences. She is Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development at University College London and Research Foundation Professor at the Faculties of Humanities and Health Sciences, University of Aarhus, Denmark.
