The Allegheny College summeR reSearch Series (ACRoSS) wrapped up on Tuesday, August 5th. Faculty and their summer research assistants were invited to present their research over a series of lunches throughout the summer. The brain-child of Professor Lee Coates and sponsored by the Dean of the College, the series was a big success and was a wonderful place for students to "test the waters" in terms of presenting their work to the scientific community at Allegheny. The series was also successful because of it's inter-disciplinary nature--research presentations derived from the fields of biology, chemistry, computer-science, environmental-science, psychology, and physics.
Our lab had the opportunity to present to the group this week. We shared work on two projects being conducted in the lab in our presentation entitled, "You Don't Say? Examining language use from psycho- and socio-linguistic perspectives."
Thanks to my students, Vincent Donofrio, Megan Petroccia, John Mahalchak, and Andrea Testa for making the lab a fun, productive environment this summer.
