I am a senior undergraduate student at Knox College, where I'm working on an honors research project that uses computer-based games to investigate social learning in Borderline Personality Disorder. I spent last summer at Yale working with Dr. Fineberg, where I was able to talk with several people who suffer from BPD. I was inspired to develop a research project that includes groups we haven't yet studied much: men (that's my main honors project) and people who have recovered (I hope we'll succeed in this campaign so we can add this group). I am so excited about this research that combines new technical skills (I've learned to write a computer game for people to play online!) and social neuroscience with gaining knowledge that will help people suffer less. After college, I'll apply to MD PhD programs so I can continue work like this in the future.
