Katie Stachowicz

Katie Stachowicz is a senior at Emory University majoring in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology and minoring in French Studies. She has spent the last several years working on neuro-related research topics in rodents ranging from traumatic brain injuries to substance use disorder. She’s particularly interested in how the brain responds to a changing environment and what happens to neuron communities as the brain learns. After graduation, she plans on going to graduate school for a PhD in neuroscience, but for now, she’s playing ultimate frisbee for Emory, cooking, and hanging out with her mice.
