LAMA Lab Presenters Spotlight: DIG & GReAT Talks 

lamalab

The LAMA Lab is proud to highlight some of our researchers who recently presented at the Developmental Interest Group (DIG) meeting and the GReAT (Graduate, REsearcher, And Trainee) Talks! These events provide an incredible opportunity for graduate students and researchers to share their work, receive feedback, and engage with a broader academic community. Here’s what they had to say about their experiences:


Anna Czepiel’s Presentation at GReAT Talks

“I enjoy presenting, as it is a chance to synthesize all my ideas into one place, typically using lots of visuals (which works well for me as I am a very visual person)! Presenting to a broader audience was a great way to make me think about my work from a ‘bigger picture’ perspective. I enjoyed presenting my research as part of the GReAT talk series, as the audience had great insights from a variety of backgrounds and asked questions challenging me to consider my work from a different angle.” – Anna Cz


Anne Cabildo’s Presentation at DIG

“DIG (Developmental Interest Group) is a weekly meeting in downtown Toronto where graduate students from developmental labs across all our campuses come together to share their research and connect with researchers beyond UofT. It provides a great space for exchanging ideas, refining studies, and building a broader research network. In my recent talk, I presented my collaboration with the ChiLD Lab at UTM, where I’m expanding my work on children’s perception of music to explore its connections with emotional and cognitive development. It's always fun to present new studies at this meeting to get valuable feedback from both my fellow grad students and faculty.” – Anne C


Meyha Chhatwal’s Presentation at GReAT Talks

“GReAT Talks, formerly known as Brown Bags, is an awesome departmental event that serves as an opportunity for scientists (both established and budding!) to share their work with a broader, non-specialist audience. I had the pleasure of presenting my proposed Foundational Research Project (a.k.a. First Year Project) for my PhD, titled “Learning to the beat: Can rhythm help babies learn new words?”, which I have been working on with both Dr. der Nederlanden and Dr. Laura Cirelli (Principal Investigator; Timing, Entrainment, Music Perception (TEMPO) Lab at UTSC). I was pretty nervous given that this was the first presentation I’d ever given to a group this size, but the Psychology department at UTM is beyond warm and encouraging and I ended up having an absolute blast meeting people, sharing ideas, and talking science!” - Meyha C

Anna L’s Presentation at DIG

“What did the villains of your favorite childhood show or movie sound like? Studies have shown that non-standard (foreign and regional) accents are disproportionately used to voice villains in children's cartoons. At DIG, I presented some preliminary data for my external research project looking at whether 5–10-year-old children associate foreign accents more with villain characters compared to their native/local accent.” – Anna L
