Our research team is a diverse and
cooperative group of coordinators and students. The team does much of the
footwork of recruiting subjects for the studies, administering assessments
to study participants, and analyzing data. Without the help of the
team, the research studies wouldn't be possible. As a group, we like Thursdays, sushi, and tangerines. Our weekly meetings often involve cookie-cakes. Within our group, there is an appropriate distribution of people who prefer lots of icing versus those who do not prefer lots of icing. Where are they now?
