So proud of Hannah for presenting her incredible honors thesis and UCARE project on parenting behaviors across different contexts and their associations with children’s classroom behaviors at the Student Research Days!

The lab is very delinquent on posting, but first up… we had a wonderful social to celebrate another fantastic year at Paint Yourself Silly! We are going to dearly miss our seniors, Hannah and Naomi!

We escaped with 14 minutes to spare! It took every single one of us to put together the clues (and maybe a few hints) to make it out of the locked house!

We are excited to announce that Dr. Jenna Finch has received an NSF CAREER Award to support her research on studying executive functions, math achievement, and math attitudes during the transition from second grade to third grade. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to pursue this work in partnership with Lincoln Public Schools!
