Celebrating Dr. Finch!

Kayla Finch, one of our wonderful graduate students here at CARE, is ‘Dr. Finch’ now! Dr. Finch successfully defended her doctoral dissertation research on “Neural Indices and Looking Behaviors of Audiovisual Speech Processing in Infancy and Early Childhood” last week.

Here she is with her committee: Dr. Helen Tager-Flusberg, Professor, our Center Director, and Kayla’s primary mentor; Dr. Melissa Kibbe, an Assistant Professor and Director of the Developing Minds Lab, who chaired the committee; Dr. Finch herself; Dr. Amanda Tarullo, an Assistant Professor and Director of the Brain and Early Experiences Laboratory; and Dr. Charles Nelson, Professor at Harvard Medical School and Research Director in the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Congratulations, Dr. Finch, we are so proud of you!
