We are proud to announce that Joli, an undergraduate researcher in the lab, was selected for the Stony Brook Psychology Honors Program. For this program, Joli will be completing 3 semesters of research in the lab under the mentorship of Dr. Richmond. We caught up with Joli to discuss her purpose for joining the Honors program and heres what she had to say: "I was very interested when I first found out about this program as I wanted to pursue the opportunity to strengthen my research skills. I admired students on the SBU Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URECA) page who could eloquently describe the findings and the contributions they made in their research labs to discover something new that may have real life implications. I want to confidently find a topic I am interested in, design an experiment, test my hypothesis, and share my results with others. I wanted Dr. Richmond to be my mentor because I admire her work ethic, research knowledge/skills and her ability to explain and clarify concepts. I believe I can gain a lot from Dr. Richmond, not just on my project, but also by learning what it is like to pursue a career in research. The skills I will acquire (eg. oral presentation, critical thinking, data analysis, knowledge of psychological and biological concepts) will prepare me to become the physician I aspire to be in the future." Congrats, Joli! We are excited to see the research you conduct!

At the 61st annual Psychonomic meeting, Katie Burnett was announced a winner for the Women in Cognitive Science (WiCS) Jr. Scientist Networking award. This award provides early career scientists with the opportunity to meet with senior peers and mentors to discuss research in the field. In these meetings Katie had the opportunity to talk about her own ongoing projects related to topics such as cognitive offloading, cognitive aging and working memory capacity and to hear about some of the work going on in labs that are addressing similar research questions.
Congratulations, Katie! |
