Memory & Language Lab

A Colby Community Web Site

Current Research Team (needs updating!)

 

Kai Chang ’21

I’m a junior at Colby. I wanted to kill a requirement by taking psych, …and I ended up here, probably because I found it interesting figuring out how minds work. I like sleeping and meditating (which is doing nothing with eyes closed) and that’s why I’m so jealous of this cat.

 

Hannah Johnson ’21

I’m a Junior from Lancaster, PA, majoring in psychology with a concentration in neuroscience! I joined the Memory and Language Lab at the start of my second semester of sophomore year after my involvement in the Colby Legacy Storytellers Program. I’m currently a Student Government Association senator, a member of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship & MultiFaith Council, and a big Mumford and Sons fan!
 
 

 

Joanna Zeng ’22

I am a sophomore from Sichuan China. I haven’t declared my major yet but I’m really interested in Psychology and Neuroscience. I joined the lab last year and I’m excited to be working on several interesting memory projects here. I love jogging (but probably not in Maine’s winter), playing badminton, and reading books about fun facts.
 
 
 

Evan Burstein ’22

I am a sophomore from Southborough, Massachusetts majoring in psychology. I joined the lab during my spring semester and am interested in memory changes related to aging. On campus, I play on the varsity golf team, participate in intramural sports, and am involved in the Colby Volunteer Club. When I am not golfing or studying, you can find me rooting for Boston sports teams.

 

Varun Boopathi ’22

I am a sophomore from East Brunswick, New Jersey, majoring in Psychology and Computer Science! I joined the lab at the start of the spring semester because of my interest in memory, attention, and cognitive psychology as a whole. I am a member of the Colby Mock Trial Team, involved with CCAK and South Asian Society, and I give campus tours for the Admissions Office. I can be found spending long nights in Davis, playing basketball in the AC, or eating ice cream in Bob’s!
