Say hi to our new Undergrad Teaching and Research Awards (UTRA) student Laura!

Laura is joining as a research assistant and is currently planning to concentrate in Applied Math & Biology.

Having ten dogs at home, Laura has always been interested in learning about dog behaviors. She is excited to be a part of the team and learn more about dogs.

Outside the lab, you can find her sipping her third cup of matcha, painting and drawing portraits, playing soccer, reading, and cooking Burmese food.

Say hi to our Undergrad Research Assistant, Abe! Abe began working in the lab as an UTRA student this summer, and is currently studying Biology.

Abe has always been a dog lover and has grown up with two dogs at home. In high school, Abe volunteered with his dog, Shluffy, as an Animal Assisted Intervention handler in memory care facilities. He is excited to learn more about canine cognition and how dogs think and learn about the world around them.

Outside of the lab, Abe is a member of the Brown Wrestling team. In his free time, he enjoys hiking, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with his dogs.

Marvin was the perfect participant during the Solidity study with RAs Julia and Bryson. But perhaps more importantly, the airplane ears in this picture are formidable.

Ganache the chocolate lab really is as sweet he looks. His curiosity and calm demeanor got him through the Solidity study with no buckets left unsniffed!
