Hi everyone! Aisha, Katherine, and I had a lab meeting yesterday with our mentor, Dr. Artistico. He mentioned attending the Eastern Psychological Association’s Conference to learn about research that’s going on in the field, make connections with people at other schools, and present our own work. I think that, previously, Dr. Engle-Friedman brought up the EPA Conference in class, but I’m not sure if the link was posted up on the blog. Anyway, the conference will take place in Boston, Massachusetts, from March 13-16, 2014, and costs $25 for student affiliates. They also have a deal for hotel rooms! I’d encourage everyone to check it out. Here is the link to the “Student” page: http://www.easternpsychological.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3504
Best,

Additionally, as an REU student, you have some funds for travel. You can probably get most of your travel costs reimbursed. For more information, please talk to me (Tiffani) and I can give you information about how to submit reimbursements, what kinds of things you need to keep, etc.
