Division 3 Graduate Student Representative MessageDan Brooks
Hi all – an update from Iowa City. First, you should know that the APA convention was recently held in Boston, MA (my real hometown!), and that the board met to discuss a number of issues concerning psychologists, scientists, and members of Division 3. At that meeting, the new Division 3 President (Nelson Cowan) officially took office and the new Graduate Student Representative-Elect (Angela AuBuchon) was announced. I look forward to working with Angela over the coming year. The APA Division 3 presentation-awards were also given out during the conference. These winners were {Thanks to Angelo Santi for providing this information}: Best Graduate Student Poster Presentation: Aaron S. Baker Forgetting trauma: A retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm. Aaron S. Baker, MA, Michelle G. Craske, PhD, and Robert A. Bjork, PhD, University of California-Los Angeles. Second-Place Graduate Student Poster Presentation: Christopher G. Warren Sleep restriction shows differences in semantic processing in adult participants. Christopher G. Warren, MA, Rachel N. Waford, MA, Leila Kheirandish-Gozal, MD, Victoria J. Molfese, PhD,, and Dennis L. Molfese, PhD, University of Louisville Also discussed at the meeting were reasons that graduate students should consider joining APA. Well, to start, there are a number of opportunities to look to the APA for support during your dissertation year. One of these opportunities is fast approaching: the APA Dissertation Award (http://www.apa.org/science/dissinfo.html ; see also the end of the Focus on Graduate Student section of this newsletter), which awards either $1000 or $5000 to students to conduct their dissertation research. The deadline for the application for this award is September 15th, 2008. As always, if you have any questions about Division 3, feel free to contact me at daniel-brooks@uiowa.edu
