Lexie Caro: "Hello everyone! My name is Lexie Caro and I am a Junior psychology major on the Pre-PA track. I have played piano for 11 years, and Dr. Rowatt's Social Psychology lab conducts studies on the influences of music on the brain and how it influences perceptions of the world around us. I also am a research intern at Baylor Scott & White's Warriors Research Institute, where we work with veterans and first responders as well as healthcare professionals to understand how we can better meet the medical needs of individuals struggling with PTSD and other disorders. After Baylor, I plan on attending PA school and continuing to conduct research in the field of psychology. "
Brooke Cote: "I'm currently a Junior Science Research Fellow also majoring in Statistics! I am super passionate about research, data, and love learning. I've been with Dr. Rowatt since 2023, and his team has broadened my perspective on the entire research process and has helped me immensely with my dreams of pursing a PhD in Personality or Quantitative Psychology. With my statistics major, I have been exposed to lots of data skills and knowledge that can contribute to side projects within the lab. I also have a minor in Japanese, which I intend to use with my psychology dreams to potentially work in Japan or work with Japanese researchers. "
