Student Opportunities
Research: Study neuroscience in many research contexts. One Juniata biology professor researches the behavior of crawfish and another studies the impacts of healthy behaviors on lifespans by examining C. elegans, a tiny worm. Juniata psychologists study risky decision making and mating preferences in humans. Here, you can contribute to research on these topics, or investigate a topic of your own choosing.
Present Your Findings: Juniata's neuroscience students and faculty have presented research at national and international conferences organized by the American Society for Cell Biology, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the Genetics Society of America, Psychonomics, and the Northeastern Evolutionary Psychology Society. Students can also present at Liberal Arts Symposium, Juniata's on-campus research and scholarship event.
