<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We’re excited to start off a new Research Experience for Undergraduates program in the cognitive sciences at Penn this summer (pending official award notification from the NSF), which includes several possible
faculty advisors in linguistics/psycholinguistics, as well as in psychology and other related fields. We’re eager to recruit talented students from a diverse range of backgrounds, including from Colleges with limited research opportunities. It’s a 10-week
program with housing and a stipend. (Penn students have largely been residing on campus this spring, and we hope to be able to bring participants in this program to campus as well, although activities may well continue to largely take place virtually, depending
on the public health situation). More details below and at:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

intelligence and behavior— MindCORE’s animating philosophy is that building an understanding of human intelligence and behavior requires bringing to bear tools and insights from multiple disciplinary traditions. To achieve this goal, MindCORE brings together
faculty with diverse approaches to the study of the mind and brain (e.g., Biology, Neuroscience, Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Computer Science) that cross multiple schools in the university (e.g., Arts & Sciences, Medicine, Engineering, Communications,
Business).</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#666666"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
