Congratulations to seniors Jackie Kalleberg, Marco Muñoz, Emily Park, and Aurora Parks for receiving UC Santa Barbara URCA grants! Below are descriptions about what the funding will be used for.

Jackie: "This funding will be used to compensate families for their participation and support the creation of my research poster!"

Marco: "The funding from the URCA grant will be used to compensate the families of our study's participants as well as fund the creation of the current study's visual presentation materials."

Emily: "I am currently running an independent project on the relationship between food and rituals on children ages 4- to 11-years! The URCA grant will be used for supplies needed to design the study stimuli, compensate participants, and run the study."

Aurora: "This funding will be used to support the design and testing of our lab's Zoom infant study focused on food and language!"

We would like to thank the UC Santa Barbara URCA program for generously supporting our undergraduates and their research. Again, congratulations Jackie, Marco, Emily, and Aurora! We are so lucky to have you in our lab.
