Art and Science Collide!

Check out a new exhibition by Patricia Moss-Vreeland, an artist whose work is inspired by memory and neuroscience, among other topics. Over the past five years, Patricia has been having conversations about the brain, memory and art with Dasa Zeithamova, and Dasa contributed science commentaries to some of Patricia’s work.

Welcome to our newest undergraduate RA’s, Jessie, Trevor, and Dahlia

Jessie Gregson-Williams

Jessie Gregson-Williams

Jessie is an undergraduate student at the University of Oregon majoring in psychology and minoring in sociology and legal studies. She is interested in social psychology and cognitive psychology, and hopes to attend either graduate or law school one day.

 

Trevor Bissert

Trevor Bissert

Trevor is a Psychology major with a business minor and a physics minor. He hopes to someday become an astronaut by doing research for NASA’s human behavior research program studying the neuropsychological effects of long term space travel as well as effects of personality dynamics and isolation on mental illness. After graduating from UO, he plans to enter into a PhD program for Clinical Psychology.

 

Dahlia Razif

Dahlia Razif

Dahlia is an undergraduate student majoring in human physiology, psychology and finance with a minor in economics. Originally from Malaysia, she moved to Oregon to pursue her higher education. She has a strong interest in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology and plans to focus her research on psychopathologies such as mood and personality disorders. She has an inclination towards studies involving bipolar disorder (BD) and wants to concentrate her future research in the neural mechanisms of BD alongside structural and physiological brain differences in BD patients.

After her undergraduate education, she wishes to complete her Master of Business Administration (MBA), hopefully pursue a medical degree (MD) with specialization in neurology and eventually complete her PhD in neuroscience. In her free time, she enjoys painting, reading and playing video games!
