Look what our students are up to! They went to the Midwestern Psychological Association (MPA) conference in Chicago and presented their own studies. Our students creates their own hypothesis and presented their data, thoughts, and creativity to other professionals!

Hello parents! We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during this uncertain time! We're still looking for junior scientists who can come participate in a study on campus once everything gets back to normal. We will begin having participants in the Summer and Fall. Thanks for helping with our research effort!

When participating in research as a junior scientist, child typically play some games and work with college students. The session takes 1-visit to UWGB, for about 1-2 hours. Children will receive a small toy or a book and a $10-$20 gift card.

When a study comes up, we will contact parents (this depends on the age of the child and type of research). We are flexible and would love to work around your schedule during regular business hours, evenings, and even weekends once everything goes back to normal.

Please fill out this short survey, and we'll send you more info

You can also email [email protected] or send us a facebook message :)
