Lab Guidelines
Dr. Todman's laboratory is a place for students with strong independent work ethic and an interest in unique aspects of psychopathology. We welcome students at all phases of their academic careers (undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate) and from a variety of backgrounds. While boredom and substance use are most commonly researched in the lab, students are welcome to study any area of psychopathology that they find interesting. In our lab, students may enter with strong interests but little experience conducting psychological research and, within a short period of time, learn how to execute a study from start to finish.
Listed below are the general requirements. Not meeting these may result in termination of lab membership:
Attend all lab meetings every Monday from 1pm-2pm and participate actively in discussion
Present a discussion in lab at least once during the MA program and yearly during the PhD program. This discussion can be either:
A discussion of your intended research topic
A presentation of your research findings
A theoretical topic of discussion
Complete the required readings within the first month. You will be expected to be aware of content as these topics will arise frequently in lab discussion.
Optional but encouraged: Present at a conference (poster or oral presentation) at least once per year on either your own research or on a group research project conducted in lab
