“The NLD lab gave me opportunities to lead a team, design, and run my own research project from start to finish. Collaborations with Dr. Woltering, staff, and fellow graduate researchers were fundamental to my graduate experience, learning, and development.”
“I feel truly honored to have working experience on a LIMO project, and for the EEG training opportunity in the NLD lab, as well.”
“I had a wonderful experience at the Neurobiological Lab, it helped me to learn more about the brain function and be able to apply that knowledge with children with neurodevelopmental disorders for the rest of my career, which is what I love to do.”
“I had a lot of support from all the lab members. Dr. Woltering is a good teacher, mentor, and friend.”
“My experience in NLD was defined not only by gaining hands-on experience with research studies and learning the ins and outs of the process (and also being welcomed to contribute), but also by the support of everyone on the team. I never felt like I didn’t belong despite my lack of experience because I was always received with kindness, encouragement, and friendship (which remains to this day).”
