Our clinical student Valerie Wong was awarded the 2022 APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship. The APAGS/Psi Chi Junior Scientist Fellowship recognizes outstanding research-oriented students who are entering their first or second year of graduate study, and provides funds to help them begin successful research programs: https://www.apa.org/about/awards/apags-psi-chi?tab=1.

Valerie’s proposed project, "Cognitive Mechanisms of Positive Emotion and Restrictive Eating", will examine how positive rumination may engage multiple components of reward responsiveness and reinforce engagement in restrictive eating.
