Congradulations to Jolie Martin, who is now an Assistant Professor in Strategic Communication at the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Similarly, congradulations to Tomas Lejarraga, who is now a Visiting Professor at the University of Balearic Islands in Spain.

In the coming semester, the Dynamic Decision Making Laboratory will be joined by two new members.

Muniba Saleem completed her Ph.D. in Psychology from working with Dr. Craig Anderson. She also holds a MS in Psychology from Iowa State University and a BA in Psychology and Arabic from the . Her past research has focused on understanding what personal and situational factors are involved in increasing or decreasing aggressive and prosocial behaviors. Her other research interests include: stereotypes and prejudice, terrorism, and media effects. Muniba's current work is focused on understanding how intergroup bias and conflict can be reduced and how cooperative and prosocial strategies within these contexts can be encouraged.

Noam Ben-Asher will be joining the lab in October.

In addtion, Sara Levens has transitioned into a full-time post-doc position with the lab.

Tomas attended the organized by the in Berlin, Germany.
