S20 week 7 general meeting

Hi everyone! During this week's meeting we took a break from academic meetings and decided to do something fun so we watched an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The episode that we watched was called "Authority" from Season 9 Episode 17 and we chose this episode because this episode is inspired by the "Milgram Experiments" conducted by Stanley Milgram on obedience.

Hi everyone! These are definitely very interesting and chaotic times that we are experiencing right now, but we hope you are all staying safe and healthy! Just because school has been officially been moved to virtual instruction, we are still going strong and we will continue having our meetings but they will just be over Zoom.

For this week's meeting we had 2019 alum, Shea Duarte talk about her experience at UC Davis' Psychology PhD Program. She gave us same great insight into the different programs that are offered at UC Davis, tips for getting prepared for grad school and more! So if you missed today's meeting then go ahead and go through the slides!
