“I chose to come to UI because of its great history of cognitive neuroscience research.  There is a broad range of research across my department and interdisciplinary work is always encouraged.  It is not hard to find someone to collaborate with here.  I look forward to the rest of my time here and I know that I will end with a great education.”
