For over two decades, the New York University (NYU) Psychology Masters (MA) Program has been proud to give our students the opportunity to share their research through the annual MA Research Poster Conference. Every year, presenters compete for one of several first ($200), second ($150), and third ($100) prize awards, with judging by current NYU Psychology Ph.D. students. Guests are invited to attend a talk given by an NYU Psychology faculty member, view student posters, and engage with students during the general poster viewing.
This year, individual posters can be viewed on this website, linked below. We also invite you virtually "attend" our guest speaker talk by Dr. Weiji Ma, an Associate Professor from the NYU Center for Neural Science and Department of Psychology (via the zoom link below), and we encourage you to engage with our poster presenters during a general poster viewing (by using the zoom meeting ID's next to each poster).
During these uncertain times, we are even more proud of our presenters and their collaborators, who have persevered through unprecedented challenges to prepare these posters. And thank YOU for joining us in this unique online conference experience.
Sincerely,
Dr. Liz Przybylinski, Conference Coordinator
