TLBL at the Undergraduate Research Symposium
On April 1st, three undergraduate research assistants from our lab had the opportunity to present their work at the Florida State University’s 25th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS). This prestigious annual event is one of the largest university-based symposia in the country, providing a platform for FSU’s all-campus interdisciplinary undergraduate research showcase. Savannah Wyckoff, Kayla Frameli, and Sarah Drake presented a collaborative poster titled “Factors Influencing Parent-Child Agreement in Reporting Mental Health Symptoms.” Additionally, Emily Lopez Diaz shared her honors thesis on “Functional Brain Networks Underlying Anxiety in Youth.”
“Presenting at the undergraduate research symposium was an exciting opportunity since I got to share my research with other students. It allowed me to refine my ability to explain concepts clearly, connect with others and confidently answer question.”

“My favorite part of FSU’s Undergraduate Research Symposium is seeing the range of research topics that fellow students are studying. I also highly value receiving questions and thoughts from others, as it helps me dig deeper into my own research!”
- Kayla Frameli
“I thoroughly enjoyed presenting at the Florida State University Undergraduate Research Symposium. It was a rewarding experience to share my research with such an engaged audience, as well as other presenters. The opportunity to connect with fellow students, faculty, and professionals in the field was very engaging, and I learned so much from the feedback and discussions that followed the presentation section. It was inspiring to see the diverse range of projects being showcased, and it reaffirmed my passion for my field of research and its potential to contribute to meaningful advancements.”

“Getting to present at the Undergraduate Research Symposium was such a rewarding experience! It was my first time charing my research outside of a classroom setting, and it felt great to see people genuinely curious about what I’ve been working on. I also loved seeing other’s research projects, especially because even though our topics are so different, there’s still so much to connect over and learn from.”
