Researcher Spotlight! Meet our research assistant, Jeanne:

Jeanne is a senior at Pomona College, where she studies cognitive science, neuroscience, and art. Broadly and incompletely, her interests revolve around decision-making and consciousness theory—lately, she’s been particularly interested in how empathy is operationalized. At Pomona, she works at the campus library and as an editor for the Claremont Journal for Medicine & Social Justice. When she’s not at the library or trying to catch up on sleep, Jeanne enjoys hiking, trying to keep her plants from falling victim to an untimely demise, and playing with her cat, Enzo

The Mind and Development Lab at Yale University is now accepting applications for our annual Summer Internship Program. Our research explores how children and adults understand the physical and social world, including topics such as morality, religion, free will, and the nature of the self.

The internship is open to all undergraduate students, those graduating in 2020, and recent college graduates. It is particularly suited for students considering graduate school in experimental psychology or cognitive science.
