We’re excited to share that PhD student Lydia recently gave a talk on age differences in savoring daily positive events at the Society for Ambulatory Assessment conference in Leuven, Belgium. While in Europe, she also visited lab alum Dr. Patrick Klaiber at Tilburg University, where she spent the day working with him and connecting with his students and colleagues!
We are delighted to announce that our Lab Director, Dr. Nancy Sin, has been honoured with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). This prestigious award recognizes alumni who have achieved national or international distinction in their field and have made significant contributions to society.
As part of this recognition, Dr. Sin has been invited to present an award lecture at the upcoming UCR Psychology Departmental Conference this fall, where she will share insights from her research.
This honour underscores Dr. Sin’s exceptional contributions to the field of psychology and her continued commitment to advancing research in adult development and aging.
Congratulations, Nancy!
