Happy Juneteenth! 🎉✨

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that the Civil War had ended and enslaved people were now free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation!

Today, we celebrate Black excellence, freedom, and the continued fight for equality. It’s a day to honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of African Americans.

Let's come together to celebrate freedom and push forward towards a more just and equitable society. 🖤❤️💚

Olivia joined the lab as an undergraduate research assistant and after she graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Spanish, took on a full-time position as project coordinator. We want to highlight Olivia's dedication to the lab as well as the hard work she puts in to ensure that everything runs smoothly! Thank you, Olivia 😄

🌟 Making Paws-itive Connections! 🌟🐾

Hello, wonderful community! 🌈 We wanted to take a moment to reminisce about a heartwarming experience we had at a recent community event. ✨

Our research team had the incredible opportunity to meet some of the most delightful families and their furry companions. 🐶💖 Each interaction was filled with warmth and connection, and we cherished every moment spent with both the humans and their beloved dogs. 🐾❤️

We were also able to share information about our research and its potential impact. To all the families and their four-legged companions who stopped by – thank you! 🙏 Your presence made our day brighter, and your support means the world to us. 🌍💙
