Natalie defends her dissertation!
Yet another St. Peter Lab COVID-19 success. Natalie had the extra hurdle of defending during a major wind storm that knocked out Claire’s power. Nothing can stop this wonder woman though! Congratulations to Dr. Shuler!
Stephanie defends her Master's thesis!
Pandemics can’t stop Stephanie! She successfully defended her Master’s thesis today, social-distancing style!

Catherine defends her Master's thesis!
Catherine Williams successfully defended her Master’s thesis, which addressed the extent to which academic responses resurge when previously learned strategies are placed on extinction. Catherine is currently conducting a follow-up study to her thesis, which was funded by the Society for the Advancement of Behavior Analysis, and hopes to publish the studies as a two-experiment paper in the coming year.

2019 Maryland ABA
Claire had the opportunity to present at the 2018 Maryland ABA conference, where she described some of the work conducted in the lab about teacher training and inclusion of behavior analysis into K-12 public school systems (click here for a copy of the presentation).
An additional wonderful aspect of MABA was having the opportunity to reconnect with former students and introduce them to each other. It was a great pleasure to hear about what former lab members are doing these days!
Celebrating our graduating seniors!
The lab is celebrating our graduating seniors, Jordan Miller and Alex Musilli, who successfully completed their capstone poster presentations this evening!
