Lastly, I want to thank my husband, my family and all my friends for their unwavering support throughout this incredibly long journey that is academia. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by people who lift me up and help me grow. ❤️

I have SO many people to thank for helping me get to this stage! I’m beyond grateful to my graduate mentors (Howard Fields and Daniela Kaufer), my postdoc mentors (Kevin Bath and Heather Brenhouse) and all the incredible undergrads I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years!

I’m so thrilled to be joining an amazing group of faculty and a fantastic community! It’s been my dream to work at a small college like Smith, and I cannot wait to start my own lab studying how early adversity influences motivated behavior! 🐀🧠

Wahooo!! Congrats Caitlyn!! 🎉
