We are proud to announce that our very own PhD student, Katie Burnett, has been awarded the Women in Cognitive Science Networking Award! The Psychonomic Society and Women in Cognitive Science Networking Award for Junior Scientists provides women in cognitive science opportunities to forge professional connections with peers and mentors in the field . Katie will be meeting with three senior scientists (virtually of course!) at the annual 2020 Psychonomic Society meeting that is being held November 19-21! At the conference, Katie will be presenting her work on processing performance on complex span tasks. For more information on the Psychonomic Society 2020 Meeting, CLICK HERE. Well done, Katie!

During this time, when social distancing is critical in order to protect ourselves and each other from COVID-19, it can be difficult to engage in the social interactions we are accustomed to. This is especially true for those living in assisted living and nursing homes. In addition to this, to protect residents many assisted living and nursing homes have closed their doors to friends and family visiting residents until further notice. Given these changes, it is common for residents to feel down and isolated at this time. To combat this, the Stony Brook University Aging Interest Group has extended an initiative started by the Gerontological Society of America to send cards and messages to residents to let them know that we are thinking of them during these times. To date, The Aging Interest Group has collected 207 cards to distribute to assisted living and nursing home residents in and around the Stony Brook community!
We are asking for your help in sending more encouraging and uplifting cards to seniors in our community! Click below for more information on how you can send a card! |
