She has presented her research at academic conferences nationally and internationally, including meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences, the International Primatological Society and American Society of Primatologists, and the National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology. She has published in peer-reviewed journals such as <em>Neuroscience Letters, Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Trauma &amp; Dissociation, Psychology and Education, <\/em>and the<em> Journal of Animal Ethics,\u00a0<\/em>and has been featured in media outlets such as the<em> Washington Post, Nature, NPR, and Science. <\/em>\r\n\r\n<b>Other Information<\/b>\r\n\r\n<b>Teaching Area<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>General Psychology<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Biological Bases of Behavior<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Abnormal Primate Psychology<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Honors Seminars<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Research Interests<\/b>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Trans-species Psychology<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Psychology Education<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<b>Publications<\/b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Publications in Peer-Reviewed Journals\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n<em>* Denotes collaboration with undergraduate student\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nGorski, P.,\u00a0<strong>Lopresti-Goodman, S.
