Bennett, PhD Chair, Psychology Department Mark and Ilene Laufman Family Professor of Psychology University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Allyson J. Bennett is a developmental biopsychologist and Chair of the Psychology Department at UW-Madison. Professor Bennett’s research expertise is in comparative studies of behavioral and neural development, with the overarching objective of advancing scientific insight into factors that result in individual differences in lifespan health. Comparative studies by Bennett and her colleagues have contributed new insights into how interplay between genes and environments affects neurobehavioral development. A complementary aim of Prof. Bennett’s research addresses the need for empirical evidence and decision-making models to inform evolving practices and policy in care and research with animals in a range of captive settings. Dr. Bennett has served as Principal Investigator on grants from the National Institutes of Health and has broad experience that includes a range of species-- rats, prosimian primates, monkeys, and chimpanzees— as well as behavioral, physiological, and neuroimaging techniques employed widely in animal research. Dr. Bennett's visit is co-sponsored by Penn University Laboratory Animal Resources. More info to follow. Lunch provided. Streaming available via Zoom.
