Laura Pritschet, University of California- Santa Barbara
<p>Laura Pritschet is a 5th year graduate student in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Under the mentorship of Dr. Emily Jacobs, she leverage techniques from network neuroscience and neuroendocrinology to explore how sex steroid hormones impact human brain function across hormonal transition periods (e.g., menopause). The goal of her research is to improve the utility of sex hormones as markers of vulnerability for neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders that are disproportionately skewed towards women. Additionally, she is passionate about women’s health research and is an advocate for women’s representation in STEM.</p>
