Our primary contact person for this is Dr. Nunez. She will either work with you herself or connect you with another faculty member who has more experience in the kind of research you want to do. Please get in touch with her by email (narina@uwyo.edu) or phone (766-6718).

Maggie Renken is a psychology graduate student who is interested in science education. She is part of the UW Science Posse and can also assist in developing research projects.

If you're a teacher and would like to arrange for Dr. Nunez. Maggie Renken or another faculty member to visit your school, she will try to set that up also.

We have some ideas for possible projects using various techniques:

Animal Behavior observations.
Animal experiments using food rewards (controlled feeding).
Questionnaire studies of your classmates or other groups of people.
Human cognitive experiments using computers to collect data.
