This seminar series is an outlet for experimental psychology doctoral students to talk about their research and get feedback on methods, analyses, concepts, etc. We meet twice a month during the academic year. We hope that graduate students and faculty alike are excited to join us in hearing about the work our students are doing. Undergraduates and others who are interested are also welcome to attend!

Talks will be held from 11am~12:15pm on the second floor of Ekstrom Library in room 254 (near the current periodicals section).
