The goal of TiPS is to promote and celebrate the work of women and underrepresented genders in psychology while learning about cutting-edge science. We also hope that this summit will serve as a platform for trainees in Psychology –  especially early career graduate students, undergraduates, and research assistants – to share their work and learn from more established scientists. The conference will be held virtually and free of cost on November 12th, 2021.

This event is part of the monthly talk series Science: Uncorked!, which aims to provide small-group guided question and answer discussions with leading faculty to help illuminate the unfiltered experiences in science, including failures and guilty pleasures, as well as tokens of excitement and gratitude.

Featuring: Dr. Claire Gillan, an associate professor of psychology at Trinity College Dublin. She is interested in developing novel approaches to studying brain health in psychiatric and aging population.

Featuring: Dr. Nicolette Sullivan from London School of Economics and Political Science. Dr. Sullivan studies consumer decision-making with a background in decision neuroscience, her current work involves in-lab as well as field studies.

Harvard's Women in Psychology (WiP) is hosting a free two-day crash course in R. This workshop series provides an advanced, fast-paced introduction to R with an emphasis on the Tidyverse and language-based methods. The primary goal is to teach skills (e.g. data cleaning/wrangling) that are beyond the bounds of traditional statistics courses, but are invaluable when it comes to conducting research. This course is free and open to anyone who is interested!

Featuring: Dr. Daniela Palombo from the University of British Columbia. Dr. Palombo investigates cognitive and neural factors associated with how we form and retain autobiographical memories and how this may differ across individuals.

Featuring: Dr. Nancy Hopkins from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is known for her research identifying the role genes play in longevity and cancer predisposition in adult fish, as well as for her work promoting equality of opportunity for women scientists in academia. Recently, she also spearheaded the new documentary 'Picture a Scientist'.

Featuring: Dr. Sylvia Perry from Northwestern University. Her research investigates how individual difference factors interact with situational factors to affect intergroup contexts, educational and healthcare settings, and people’s sense of belonging and psychological well-being. 

Together with the Psychology Department, we have arranged the opportunity to screen a new film, Picture a Scientist. "Picture a Scientist is a documentary that chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries - including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists - who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all."
