Elizabeth Kaplan - Research Assistant

Elizabeth (Lizzie) joined the lab as a post-bacc RA at the start of this school year. She earned her B.A. in Neuroscience and Behavior at Columbia University while being a 4-year member of the Columbia Women’s Lacrosse team. Lizzie plans to pursue a PhD in social neuroscience — she is interested in how the blend of our social world and our current affective states can shape our visual perceptions and subsequent cognitive processes. Outside of the lab, Lizzie works as a standardized testing tutor and as a dog sitter/walker. For fun, Lizzie likes to play card games, rock climb, play pickleball, and host board game nights.
