Hi, my name is Emily Lovejoy, and I am a rising senior at Bryn Mawr College.  I am majoring in psychology, with a minor in geology.  The two fields don't quite go hand in hand, but it is interesting to learn about two sciences that can be taught in very different ways.  I am particularly interested in studying eating disorders and the neurobiology associated with them.  I am also interested in education, and I think it would be rewarding to combine my interests in education and psychology to become a school psychologist.

Hello!  My name is Brielle Stark and I'm a rising sophomore at Bryn Mawr College.  I hope to major in psychology, minor in biology and concentrate in neural and behavioral science.  I have aspirations of studying the behavioral impact of traumatic brain injury and seizures on the brain as well as studying the diverse behavioral affects of developmental disorders in regard to the usage and structure of the brain.  I have worked with individuals with disabilities for roughly eight years now, and hope to continue this relationship in my career.

I was perusing NYT and found this great article on the evolution of learning.  I found it very interesting with relation to Dr. Grobstein's Biology 202 course last spring for several of my webpapers.
