My name is Ashley Schlipp (she/they) and I am a Neuroscience major. I have been interested in behavioral neuroscience ever since I started at Reed, which is why I quickly got involved taking care of the rats in the vivarium. However, this summer was my first experience doing focused behavioral neuroscience research, during which I studied how the fictive vocal outputs of Xenopus laevis change when the brains are exposed to prostaglandin hormones. In the future, I plan on going to medical school and practicing and researching in neurology or endocrinology. My favorite snack is pita and hummus and one of my favorite hobbies is playing card/board games. 

I am a senior neuroscience major. I have a research background in sensation & perception, using EEG to study synesthesia in the visual processing pathway. I’m currently getting ready to apply to medical school, where I don’t yet know what I’ll specialise in but I want to try everything! My love for rats began at 7 when I adopted my first pair, Skip and Rudolf, and then a few years later, Dot and Dash. My favourite snack is frozen fruit and my favourite way to spend a free afternoon is drawing with a podcast in my ears.

I am senior Psychology major & Religion minor. My background in neuroscience is mainly behavioral and pharmacology related, but I am interested in learning about other aspects of neuroscience. I currently work at a behavioral neuroscience lab at OHSU, and am deeply interested in going to graduate school to study pharmacotherapies for substance abuse disorders in behavioral neuroscience. My favorite snack is anything pickled. My favorite hobbies are to make latte art and try new boba tea drinks. 

I am a senior Neuroscience major. My research background is in traumatic brain injury rodent models. I previously studied the potential use of sleep fragmentation as a biomarker of mTBI severity by correlating it with temporal changes in EEG gamma event coupling. After Reed, I plan to apply to medical school with the eventual goal of pursuing a fellowship with a major league sports team. My favorite snack is Trader Joe’s banana chips. I enjoy playing/watching sports, gaming, and pool.

I am a junior neuroscience major. I have been a part of the BN lab since the spring of my freshman year, and continue to partake in neuroscience research particularly in the areas of behavioral neuro & learning/comparative psychology, with an emphasis in understanding the translation between humans and the usage of animal models. My future plans consist of pursuing a Behavioral Neuroscience MD PhD program after graduation to further my interests in research. My favorite hobbies consist of hanging out with my cat, and cooking homemade food.

I am a junior Psychology major! I worked in the behavioral neuroscience lab last year where Christina and I designed a study looking at the concurrent use of alcohol and different types of cannabinoids. In the future, I hope to go to graduate school for clinical psychology. In my off time, I love bothering my family and friends with my impromptu performances of whatever song is stuck in my head!

I’m a junior neuroscience major. Last year I worked in the behavioral neuroscience lab where Prisha and I researched the effects of cannabinoids on alcohol intake in a rodent model. In the future, I hope to obtain my PhD in either neuropharmacology, behavioral neuroscience or neuroengineering. My favorite snack combo is hot cheetos with sweet tea and my favorite pastime is listening to music, cooking and coloring!
