We have been excited to contribute to multiple presentations from both our undergraduate scholars and recent work Dr. Booker has shared with peers.
Last week, multiple scholars traveled to Chicago, Illinois to present at the Midwestern Psychological Association meeting. This included seniors who were showcasing capstone research projects and other exciting research findings. LeAndra Rhymes, Madi Arends, and Bayliee Kulesa from our lab each traveled to showcase exciting work about developmental science, representing multiple projects from the Department of Psychological Sciences.
This week, multiple students have been presenting research from different projects in the Milestones Lab at the University of Missouri Show Me Research Week symposium:
- Adelaide Gleason presented “Gendered Presentations of Mother-Father Life Stories by College Students”
- Alex Brownstein and Madi Arends presented “Are Redemptive Life Stories More Prevalent Given Different Political Affiliations?”
- Bayliee Kulesa presented “Rural Mother-Daughter Perspectives on School and Work”
- Isabel Dupree presented “Emotion Expressivity in Families and College Students’ Adjustment”
- Ivory Carney presented “The Value of Study Confederates in Psychological Science: A Review of Past Work and an Upcoming Example with Life Storytelling”
- Madi Arends and Madison Mitchell presented “Future Goals among Adolescents: The Importance of Age, Gender, and History on Upcoming Milestones”
It has been a busy week of poster presentations with vibrant, multidisciplinary audiences across campus. These students are continuing to grow in their expertise thinking about exciting research questions, testing evidence for these questions, and communicating new insights for science with audiences.
Dr. Booker has also been busy this week presenting research findings with audiences in other parts of Missouri. On Tuesday, Dr. Booker visited peers in the Saint Louis University Psi Chi club–an honor society for psychology scholars. There, he shared broad insights about developmental science and life storytelling with peers and had an exciting question session with attendees.
Our lab is continuing to look toward additional opportunities to advance and share research with audiences. In the coming weeks, we will have a team of scholars presenting at one of the largest international developmental science meetings, the Society for Research in Child Development.
