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!
