Two University psychology professors returned Monday from the American Psychological Association’s fifth annual Science Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.
Mary Lou Kelley, clinical psychology professor, and Claire Advokat, biological psychology professor, were the first University professors to be invited to an APA conference and were two of only 100 professionals selected to attend.
This year, the conference was entitled “Enhancing the Nation’s Health Through Psychological Science.” The goal was to advocate for increased federal funding in psychological research and training to ultimately improve the nation’s health, according to the invitation.
“It was really interesting,” Kelley said. “I really had a great experience.”
