Congratulations, Ashley!

This week we learned that the postdoctoral fellowship proposal conceived and written by our very own soon-to-be-PhD Ashley is very likely to be funded by the National Institutes of Health! It all depends on the federal budget, but things are looking good. We celebrated by decorating the room for our lab meeting with huge signs saying "Congratulations Ashley, We are So Proud of You!"

Our Work Featured on Let Grow

Let Grow is a nonprofit organization devoted to challenging the idea that

kids today are somehow more physically, emotionally and psychologically fragile than any generation before. Their projects help people see for themselves how capable kids can be.

This week the Let Grow blog featured some writing by Prof. Sarnecka, talking about what we can do to help people see reason. (Yay, Reason!)

Welcome, Village Montessori Families!

Julissa, Kelsy and Amy meeting new families at Village Montessori 

Today, research assistants Julissa, Kelsy, and Amy visited Village Montessori to tell families about our lab and sign up families who want to participate. We gave out lots of slinkies and coloring books. It was lots of fun, and we look forward to working with all of the new children!
