 -day event during which second-year Master’s students\, as well as new PhD 
 students\, present their research to the entire department. It’s the only o
 pportunity for students to share their work with everyone in the Psychology

 n honour of Star Wars\, this year's theme is <b>May the 4th Be With You! </
 b>Presenters are encouraged to dress up as their favourite Star Wars charac
 ter\, and hide Star Wars references on their slides.<br />The keynote speak
 er is <a href="http://www.psych.nyu.edu/balcetis/" target="_blank" rel="noo
 pener">Dr. Emily Balcetis</a> from New York University. Dr. Balcetis explor
 es how small differences in perception\, whether conscious or nonconscious\
 , can have potentially major consequences. Her current work focuses on how 
 video evidence can bias jury members differently and how our vision can wor
 k against us when it comes to effective exercise. Balcetis' goal is to show
  that through our awareness of these biases\, we can also overcome them\, f
 or an ever so slightly less daunting world.<br />View the <a href="/wp-cont
