A cognitive scientist, her research focuses on the factors influencing performance anxiety and strategies that can be used to perform well under pressure, both in the classroom and beyond. She is the author of Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal about Getting It Right When You Have To (2010), How the Body Knows Its Mind: The Surprising Power of the Physical Environment to Influence How You Think and Feel (2015), and numerous scholarly works and op-eds.
Undergraduate research poster session
The undergraduate poster session will be held on May 24, from 5:30-7:30PM, at the Hanover Inn directly following the keynote address. Please register here by May 10 if you intend to present a poster.
The Christopher Reed Science Competition
The Competition will be judged on the day of the symposium by a panel of Sigma Xi members. The judges' evaluations are based on the quality and quantity of research and the effectiveness of the student's presentation.
The winners of the competition are announced at the end of the virtual keynote address and the winners also receive cash awards.
All seniors who participate in this competition and complete their thesis are nominated for Associate Membership in Sigma Xi. The competition is sponsored by the Dartmouth Chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society.
This year's Reed competition will take place from 12-3:30PM in the Mt. Washington and Cardigna conference rooms on the lower level of the Inn. Registration details to follow.
