Each year, the Psychology Department hosts the Edwards Lecture series for the community.  In 2017, the topic of these lectures was Improving Society through Brain Science.  The lectures cover 3 topics each year, including one talk from a UW Psychology Professor paired with one talk from an outside expert. Katie A. McLaughlin, Lab Director, gave one of these lectures on the topic of Environmental Experience and Brain Development.  You can find a video recording of all six of the lectures here.

Dr. McLaughlin’s talk can be found here.
