Congratulations to Stephanie Steinberg on her first peer reviewed publication! Click on the photo for more info.

Sarah Clark, a graduate student co-advised by Drs. Jessica Turner and Tricia King, recently published the results of her general exam in Neuropsychology Review, entitled Cerebellar Contributions to Proactive and Reactive Control in the Stop Signal Task: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies. Congrats on a fantastic contribution to the field, Sarah!

Originally from Minneapolis, Olivia obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Neuroscience and Classical Studies from Colgate University in 2017. During her undergraduate career, Olivia worked on several projects studying traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder at the University of Minnesota and Baylor College of Medicine. Upon completion of her undergraduate degree, she joined the Boston University Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Center, where she worked as the Recruitment and Retention Coordinator for the DIAGNOSE CTE Research Project. Olivia is excited to join the King Lab at GSU as a Ph.D. student in clinical neuropsychology in the Fall of 2020. Her research interests include utilizing multimodal neuroimaging techniques to investigate later-life cognitive, behavioral, and mood outcomes in pediatric brain tumor survivors.

We’re looking forward to having Olivia begin her graduate studies with us this fall!

One of our fantastic undergraduate assistants, Courtney Keeler, was just accepted into Columbia University’s M.A. program in clinical psychology with an advanced certificate in Sexuality, Women, and Gender. We are so excited for Courtney as she moves to NYC to begin the next phase of her career!

Happy match day! Michelle Fox, a sixth year in the lab, found out this morning that she matched for internship at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis, MN. We are so proud of Michelle and everything she has accomplished as she sets off on this new experience!

New paper out by third-year student Rella Kautiainen! This work is based on her master’s thesis and identifies sex-specific effects in looking at SNPs and verbal intelligence outcomes. Well done, Rella.

Another successful Research Day in the books! Research Day is our program’s annual celebration of student and faculty research productivity. Our lab had two featured speakers this year:  Michelle Fox gave the Keynote address and Rella Kautiainen spoke about her master’s thesis project. They both did a phenomenal job representing the lab!

Our great group of undergraduate students presented today at PURC, the annual departmental undergraduate conference. Great job, everyone!

Dr. King, the principal investigator of our lab, was recently asked to speak at the Office of the Provost’s “Women Inspire Lecture Series,” which highlights female faculty members from various disciplines doing groundbreaking research at GSU.
