October is the time of year when we celebrate the accomplishments of our recent graduates at Convocation. This year saw three MSc students complete their degrees including Ron, Ishika, and Alicia, with Ron and Ishika proudly walking across the stage to receive their degree. We missed Alicia, who is already off pursuing her next degree overseas.
Keeping with tradition, the lab once again held a competition to see who could do the best job prepping a 64-channel EEG cap. Teams had 30 minutes from start to finish to show off their prep skills. Congratulations to the winning team of Monica, Laura, and Chris, and thanks to all those who volunteered their heads!
MSc student Sarah Kraeutner is the newest published author in the lab as her work examining patterns of brain activity during motor imagery and motor execution was recently accepted for publication in the journal Brain Research – congratulations Sarah!
We would like to officially welcome our new doctoral student Tony Ingram, master’s students Kerry McInnes, Monica MacDonald, and Chris Friesen, and honours students Jack Solomon and Laura MacKenzie. Looking forward to a great year!
We would like to congratulate three of our master’s students, Ron Bishop, Alicia Gionfriddo, and Ishika Sharma, for their successful thesis defenses this past week! We wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavours, and you will be missed!
The lab would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Research Coordinator, Lauren Dunphy. Lauren completed her honours with Aaron Newman here at Dalhousie before completing a MSc in Psychology at Western University with Stefan Kohler. We are looking forward to working with you!
Congratulations to graduate student Sarah Kraeutner, who was awarded a Heart and Stroke Foundation BrightRed Graduate Research Award. The goal of the BrightRed Graduate Research Awards program is to recognize excellent emerging cardiovascular and cerebrovascular researchers in Nova Scotia. Great work, Sarah!
Lab director, Dr. Shaun Boe, and graduate students, Sarah Kraeutner, Ron Bishop, and Alicia Gionfriddo travelled to Hamburg, Germany this month to present their research at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping Annual Meeting.
Congratulations to masters students, Ishika Sharma, Ross Story, and Sarah Kraeutner, on their poster presentations at the CIHR Young Investigators Forum for the Institute for Circulatory and Respiratory Health in Edmonton.
