Brandi Newell is a second year student in Harvard's Department of Psychology working jointly with Jason Mitchell's Social, Cognitive, and Affective Neuroscience Lab and Mahzarin Banaji's Implicit Social Cognition Lab. She received a BA in Psychology from Wellesley College in 2008 and went on to explore the neural correlates of human decision-making as a Post-baccalaureate Research Fellow in Scott Huettel's Neuroeconomics Lab at Duke University. Her current research explores how individuals' unconscious biases and propensities to take others' perspectives affects their social and moral judgments. During her fellowship, Newell will collaborate with Alek Chakroff to investigate institutional corruption in academia through a set of experiments designed to help elucidate when researchers fall prey to implicit biases that affect the validity of their work and how incentive structures within academia might lead to those problematic outcomes.
