N&PP Student Spotlight! Once every semester, one of our fantastic N&PP students gives a talk on a topic of their choosing. This semester, we are excited to hear from Grace George! Grace is a third year N&PP student in Dr. Ryan Herringa's BRAVE Youth Lab. She studies parent-child interactions of children and adolescents with PTSD using neuroimaging as well as psychophysiological methods. She is currently working towards her Master's in Public Affairs at the La Follette School of Public Affairs. Grace is interested in social and education policy, specifically how to incorporate neuroscience in education to help foster better education for neurodivergent children.
