Weekly Undergraduate Announcements

2. 

.I am reaching out to invite you to attend and submit an abstract to AXON 3.0, a VIRTUAL undergraduate research conference that is being held this Saturday 4/23 beginning at noon via GatherTown. See details at our conference website: 

https://axon2022.myportfolio.com/ 

Highlights include undergrad poster sessions, short research talks, a panel discussion with graduate students on tips and advice on entering PhD/MD programs and a Keynote by Social Neuroscientist, Dr. David Amodio (NYU / Univ. of Amsterdam), whose research examines the psychological and neural mechanisms of prejudice, social cognition, and self-regulation, with a focus on how social biases are learned, expressed in behavior, controlled, and changed.  

Undergraduate students will be eligible for CASH PRIZES to reward excellence in research writing and poster presentation. 

Social psychologists and neuroscientists of all flavors are welcome to present! Given the short notice, please note that we are currently accepting late abstract submissions. This is a great opportunity for our undergrad researchers to present their research talks and posters (e.g., from Aresty, Honors, or other Rutgers-based programs) in a regional conference. 

Any questions? Feel free to email me directly. 

We look forward to seeing you all virtually on Saturday!
