APS Janet Taylor Spence Award
Katie Ehrlich, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, is one of eight recipients of the Association for Psychological Science Janet Taylor Spence Award, which recognizes researchers early in their careers who cross traditional sub-disciplinary lines in psychological sciences.



Ehrlich’s work looks at new ways to capture health outcomes in children, such as looking at how kids are responding to vaccines and whether this response is connected to other stressors going on in their lives.

Emphasizing the importance of mentorship in academia, Ehrlich said she was nominated for this award by a graduate school mentor. She also had some words of advice for young scientists and graduate students.

“You never know what projects are going to work out and which things are going to be a dud,” Ehrlich said. “Persevering through some of those challenges is important. So you really can’t get discouraged by those.”

Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship


Two UGA assistant professors won the 2019 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship. This fellowship is awarded to researchers in recognition of distinguished performance and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to their field, according to the Sloan Foundation.
