George and I am a rising senior Neuroscience and Biomathematics double major at the University! This summer I will continue research with the Orr lab via the Royal Experience Summer Internship Program.<\/p>\n<p>This summer, I have two main projects. The first project is to complete analysis of data that I collected before the semester ended. I have to watch and score 306 videos for 5 different behaviors. Once I complete this step, I will be able to analyze data and ascertain whether a short-term exposure to high-fat diets in mice interferes with visuospatial memory! I will run statistical analyses on the data I collect, compile my findings so far, and submit an abstract for the 2020 SfN Neuroscience conference. Presenting research at conferences is an integral part of my application to MD-PhD programs and so, this is an essential experience for my future!<\/p>\n<p>Once I complete the above project, I will investigate the different social compliance techniques used in political campaign ads before and after the introduction of C-SPAN. This project combines two of my favorite subjects: social psychology and data science. I am super excited about this project because it is my first foray into social psychology! When I eventually manage my own lab, I hope to engage in both behavioral neuroscience and social psychology research. Hence, this preliminary exposure is extremely important in laying the foundation for my future career!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-299\" style=\"width: 419px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-299\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-300x185.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"419\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-1024x632.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-768x474.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-1536x948.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-2048x1265.png 2048w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/careerservices\/files\/2020\/07\/fig1-624x385.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fig 1.
