While the Barker Lab has been hit hard in many ways by the COVID-19 crisis, we’ve also recently had a lot to be thankful for!

In addition to the McNair Fellowship earned by returning student Ashley Crawley, we recently learned that returning Lab member Uzma Mohammed and new lab member Kaitlyn Caballero were both awarded Cooper Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships! This fellowship is a generous gift from Dr. Dorothy Cooper in memory of her husband David Cooper that supports students majoring in Psychology as they pursue summer research. In addition, new lab student Samantha Rozario was awarded an Aresty Summer Research Fellowship. These fellowships are part of an endowment from Jerome and Lorraine Aresty to encourage undergraduate research at Rutgers New Brunswick.

These fellowships are especially precious this summer and we are incredibly grateful for the support!
