[Neuropostdocs] Talks Series - Social and Emotion Dimensions of Well Being, beginning Jan. 23, 2018

[Pregent, Stephanie Ann]

Dear all:
I hope that you've had a great start of the semester. Just wanted to draw your attention to a few events of possible interest. As some of you may know (if so, sorry for redundancy due to cross-posting), we are organizing an upcoming talk series as part of the new Beckman Institute Research Initiative that I am leading - "Social and Emotional dimensions of Well-being (SEW)" - see here for details:
<https://beckman.illinois.edu/research/themes/intelligent-systems/social-emotional-well-being>
https://beckman.illinois.edu/research/themes/intelligent-systems/social-emotional-well-being

What, When, & Where: The talks series will be kicked off by a mini-symposium (Jan. 23, at 2:00-4:00pm), followed by a reception (4-5pm). Also, to facilitate students' participation we have an associated course (Psyc 496-FD) that graduate and undergraduate students can enroll in for credits. All events on Tuesday and then the talks/classes for the rest of the semester will be held at the Beckman Institute, in 3269, which is the 3rd floor tower meeting room.

Presenters: Please find below the list of presenters for Tuesday and the speakers for the rest of the semester. I am very excited that various areas related to well-being are represented by UIUC researchers. We will also have a couple of external speakers (Tim Strauman, Duke University & Amishi Jha, University of Florida), and I hope to hear soon from couple more (Barbara Fredrickson, UNC, and John Cacioppo, U. Chicago) for this semester; it is also very likely to bring Ed Diener, in the future, but it was not possible this Spring.

Please feel free to share the details regarding our Symposium & Talk Series, along with the associated Course to anyone potentially interested in attending/enrolling. Many thanks and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible, on every Tuesday of this semester!

All best,
Florin
