A core value of the LUMeN Lab is engaging in public science outreach with the goals of making science more accessible and promoting equity in science. Our research and outreach are synergistic, advancing our broader goal of using science to improve outcomes and experiences for young people.
Several of our science outreach efforts are highlighted below. We’re eager to grow our network in Atlanta! Please get in touch with us if you or your organization might be interested in working together to help spread the word about cognitive neuroscience research!
In Atlanta
The LUMeN Lab loves to share science with our local community! We participate in the Atlanta Science Festival every year where we have short cognitive science activities and invite attendees to plot their own data using stickers. We also participate in the Atlanta Brain Bee, host visits to our lab, and participate in various activities in the Atlanta area via the Emory Child Study Center.
In the Media
Below are some media to which we have contributed to help share our science with broad audiences.
In Science & Policy
Our work has implications for policy and practice in the juvenile justice, education, and mental health arenas. We aim to facilitate the application of well-established insights from developmental cognitive neuroscience in these settings. Some examples of our efforts are highlighted below.
