Conference! The Social and Affective Neuroscience Conference (SANS avec SNC)

The SCN Lab had a blast in San Diego for SANS. Many of our lab members presented their work. We had presentations by:

• Dr. Elizabeth Losin: “Psychological and neurobiological mechanisms of empathy decline in medical students and effects on pain treatment decisions.”

• PhD Candidate Theoni Varoudaki: “Why Cities Hurt More: Affective and Neural Pathways Linking Environment and Pain”

• PhD Candidate Maryam Amini: “Personal Distress as a Modulator of Clinical Decision-Making”

• PhD Candidate Younghwa Cha:“Autonomic Arousal as a Social Modulator of Pain: Skin Conductance Responses to Pain in Low-and High-Trust Medical Contexts.”

  We also got to connect with previous lab members (Morgan) and saw some seals!
