Courses for 2015-2016 academic year

I am not teaching courses through the 2015-2016 academic year. For those interested, I will be leading research meetings over the course of the year in the Cognitive Aging Laboratory. If you are interested in being a part of these meetings, please contact me and I will provide you more details. In general, these meetings are mandatory for lab members, but are also available to outsiders interested in the work happening in the lab. In each meeting, we typically discuss one or two research papers and discuss the current state of lab affairs. Attending these meetings will be especially helpful for individuals seeking to be a part of the lab!
