#Exploratory Studies

What a YEAR. Probably the most busy year yet🤣😮‍💨 So grateful to God for seeing me through. 2026 I claim as a year of peace and calm☺️🤍 #forensics #2025recap #noxkelireels #southafrica #autopsy

Comment “isef” to get a winning science project idea 🏆 #ivyleague

‼️ Comment “LAB”, applications are OPEN NOW! If you’re a high school student aged 15–19 and interested in biology, neuroscience, or biotech, this is something you CANNOT ignore. 🚨 This is not a class. It’s real research. 🧬 Here’s what students in this program will actually do 👇 → Complete a university-level review paper, ready for journal submission → Work inside a professional wet lab incubator → Learn how real biology & biotech research is done — hands-on, not theoretical → Build a serious academic achievement that strengthens top-college applications 🤫 And here’s the part most people don’t tell you… ✅ You’ll also become eligible for 2 university credits while still in high school. 📍 Due to POPULAR DEMAND, this Summer 2026 program is now offered in: • Pasadena • New York • Singapore ⏳ Applications for Summer 2026 are NOW OPEN ⚠️ Only 20 spots per location — HURRRYYY! ‼️ Comment “LAB” to get program details. 🔖 Save this so you don’t miss the deadline. 👀 Follow @indigo.research for real admissions clarity. #ResearchProgram #CollegeAdmissions #STEMStudents #HighSchoolResearch #FutureScientists

Meet Kai Ushikubo @kaiushikubo as he shares why it’s great to be an Interdisciplinary Studies major. #NUCAST #interdisciplinarystudies #englishmajor #educationmajor #university

To the class of 2026! I appreciate you guys 🤍 Let’s just say the whole school got a free “Eau de Laboratory” perfume today. Yes Teachers were not impressed when you walked into their classes smelling like pure scientific dedication 😂🧪 But hey… that’s the scent of hard work and academic excellence! 😂 #science #expirement

Most psychological discoveries arose as an unintended consequence of other experiments. These experiments now form the foundation of psychology. 6 such experiments are: 1. Albert Bandura’s Bobo Doll Experiment- Bandura showed that children learn behaviours by observing others, not just through rewards or punishment. Children exposed to aggressive models were more likely to imitate that aggression. This experiment introduced observational learning. It shaped how we understand media influence, parenting, and social learning today. 2. Pavlov’s Classical Conditioning- Pavlov demonstrated that neutral stimuli can become linked to automatic responses through repeated pairing. Dogs learned to salivate to a bell that had been associated with food. This revealed how learning can happen without conscious awareness. It remains central to understanding phobias, habits, and emotional responses. 3. Skinner’s Rat Box- Skinner showed that behaviour is shaped by its consequences through reinforcement and punishment. Rats learned to press levers when rewarded with food. This formed the basis of operant conditioning. It’s widely applied in education, behaviour therapy, and habit formation. 4. Rosenhan’s “Being Sane in Insane Places”- Rosenhan revealed how psychiatric diagnoses can be influenced by context and expectation. Sane individuals were misdiagnosed as mentally ill in hospitals. The study questioned diagnostic reliability. It influenced reforms in psychiatric classification and assessment practices. 5. Seligman’s Learned Helplessness Experiment- Seligman found that repeated exposure to uncontrollable stress led subjects to stop trying to escape. They learned that their actions no longer mattered. This concept explained how helplessness develops. It remains relevant in understanding depression, trauma, and motivation. 6. The Kitty Genovese Case and the Bystander Effect- This case highlighted how people are less likely to help when others are present. Responsibility becomes diffused across the group. It led to research on the bystander effect. The findings are crucial for understanding emergency response and social responsibility. . . . . {psychology experiments}

Saint Francis Science Methods. Every year we investigate Sinkers and Floaters. I use this investigation in honor of my Science Methods Professor, Dr. Phil Heath, Ohio State University. Dr. Heath impacted the way I taught science to 4th, 8th, college, and adult learners. Thank you, Dr. Heath!

At the African Paleosciences Lab, we’re committed to mentoring the next generation of scientists while conducting rigorous research in archaeology and human evolution. Each summer, we participate in the Applied Research in Science and Engineering (ARISE) program at NYU, welcoming high school students to join us and learn hands-on research skills. In our lab, students collect and analyze data, develop their own research questions, and even write abstracts and present posters by the end of the summer. This video offers a glimpse into our first summer (2023) with the program, showing the lab environment, the kinds of research questions we explore, and students' reflections on what they learned. The video also features an interview with Justin Pargeter and Adela, the first graduate student to lead the ARISE summer program in our lab, reflecting on life at the lab and their own research. Since then, we’ve run two more summers with slightly different approaches and projects, building on this initial experience and continuing to refine how we mentor students and involve them in research. Our graduate students and Justin Pargeter work together to design a workflow tailored to each lead mentor and specific project for the high school students to engage in. We are excited to take you along the journey this summer to showcase a much more detailed behind the scenes. @nyuniversity @nyuanthro @soar_nyu
