We are particularly interested in the mechanisms underlying aversive behaviors in response to electricity and cliffs.

A focus of the Young Lab is to provide robust research experiences for undergraduate students

  • We engage in experimental design, execution, and data analysis.

  • We use published evidence to inform our plans and hypotheses.

  • We have opportunities to take leadership roles in our research groups

  • We are meticulous in our work and record keeping
