Conference Presentations

Present our lab's research in a poster presentation at regional and national psychology conferences. Be mindful that many conferences occur in the spring semester; so, if you want your name on a poster presentation, you need to be a part of the lab during the fall semester when the conference proposal is submitted.

Collaborate on a Research Article

An invitation to co-author an article for publication is offered carefully. Only a select few are afforded the opportunity, and to be invited is a testament to a research assistant’s academic abilities and long-term commitment to research in the lab. Typically, students I publish with have contributed to most if not all of the previously mentioned lab activities. Be mindful that the process of publishing can take a year at least.
