| About me: |
I am a first year Ph.D. student in a experimental psychology program. I specialize in evolutionary developmental studies. I am currently working on a study focusing on adaptive features of immature cognition. I am also interested in how children come to understand supernatural agents. Specifically what type of relationships exist between belief in supernatural agency concepts and morality, memory, and group-identity. I am also a supporter of skeptical thinking and a proud atheist. When I am not working I enjoy relaxing, hanging out with friends, and increasing the amount of mitochondrial in my liver. |
