Congratulations Angel! Angel successfully defended her dissertation that investigated the effect of specific aspects of sleep on total physical activity. These findings support that maintaining consistent sleep durations is associated with healthier levels of physical activity, and that this relationship is influenced by sleep efficiency (which has a suppressor effect) in older adults.

Congratulations Sahvannah! Sahvannah was selected as a paid research assistant on the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study at the Washington University in St. Louis. This project aligns perfectly with her interest in studying the effect of childhood adversity on brain development in youth.

Congratulations Amy for winning the Best Graduate Presentation in Social Sciences and Humanities at the UMaine Symposium!
