We are privileged to welcome a new face to our lab, Nicole (Jiahan) Li. Nicole will be sharing lab manager duties between our lab and the lab of Dr. Arnold Ho. Welcome Nicole!

Big congratulations to Soyeon Choi, who has finalized her dissertation and is moving on (and up) in the world. She will be starting a postdoctoral position at the University of Wisconsin, Madison this fall. Say congrats if you see her around!

Congratulations to our lab manager, Madhulika Shastry, who will be a new doctoral student at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill next year! This was fantastic news, and although none of us want her to leave, we know that bigger and better things are to come for her.

Our (now former) lab member Wilson Merrell has successfully defended his dissertation! Wilson has just begun a postdoctoral appointment at the Political Behavior and Institutions section of the Center for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination at Aarhus University. Hope he doesn’t need to print that on a business card. Congratulations!

Make sure to check out the current speaker series for the Evolution & Human Adaptation Program (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/esplab/news/) at Michigan! EHAP also gives awards to graduate students for their research, so check it out.

Very happy to welcome our new lab manager, Madhulika Shastry, to the team beginning this fall! Welcome!

We are thrilled to welcome Kaelyn Sabree to the lab! Kaelyn is an incoming graduate student who will begin in the fall of 2022.

Iris Wang has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation. Congratulations to Iris on becoming a PhD! Excited for her next chapter as she begins working with Caesars Entertainment.

Congratulations to our own Nick Michalak on successfully defending his dissertation and earning his PhD! We wish him well and hope for big things as he moves into industry.

Farewell to our lab manager, Angie. Thank you for a great year in the lab and everything you’ve contributed.
