The goal of the APA Psychology Graduate School Fair is to virtually connect graduate psychology programs with current undergraduate and graduate students seeking to further their education, as well as individuals returning for their graduate education. Additionally, APA staff will be on hand from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) to answer students’ general questions about applying to graduate school in psychology.
Date: Oct 29, 2025
Time: 12:00 – 4:00 pm Eastern
Gen(Z)AI is bringing 100 young Canadians (17–23) together to help shape the future of AI in Canada.
The Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy is a research organization housed at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. The Gen(Z)AI will convene 100 young people, ages 17–23, from across Canada to deliberate on pressing AI issues. Using a novel citizens’ assembly model, participants will engage with leading experts, participate in facilitated discussions, and work together to develop consensus-based policy recommendations to shape Canada’s AI future. This project is being carried out in partnership with Mila – Quebec AI Institute and the Dialogue on Technology Project at Simon Fraser University.
This is a unique opportunity for young Canadians to:
Participants are selected by October 24th, 2025.

REX is a six month long program designed to help undergraduate students build essential research skills through a proposed research project (no results required). At the end of the REX program, mentees will have the opportunity to present their finished projects at the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Conference (MURC), publish in the Canadian Journal of Undergraduate Research (CJUR), or complete another deliverable approved by their mentor.
Applications are open until Sept 26.

The UBC Early Development Research Group (ERDG) has a NEW in-person EEG study—and is looking for curious babies (and their grown-ups!) to explore how rhythm might help infants learn!
About the study
Researchers in UBC’s Infant Studies Centre are interested in how babies begin to learn to match words with objects. Specifically, they are interested in how rhythm can help infants learn by engaging their brain activity and visual behaviour. To test this, they use a methodology called EEG to detect infants’ brain activity while they listen to some repeated phrases paired with objects. EEG is completely safe for both babies and adults, and has no harmful effects. It simply records the electrical activity that is always present from the surface of the head. To measure visual behaviour, the eye-tracker will simply detect your infants eye movements using a camera at the bottom of the screen, and a small sticker that will be placed on the front of the EEG cap.
What’s involved
While your baby sits on your lap, the researchers will first put an EEG cap dampened with saline solution on baby’s head. Once the cap is secure, they will play some repeated speech sounds while your baby watches videos of objects. This part of the study with the EEG and eye-tracking will take no more than 15 minutes. Following this , you’ll be asked some questions about your baby’s language and music environment, vocabulary, as well as about some of the sounds they can make. The entire visit will take approximately 60 minutes.
To thank you for your participation, your child will receive an honorary UBC degree certificate and a small gift—and you’ll get cute photos of your baby!

Are you currently in perimenopause? Share your experiences in the Perimenopause, Health, And SExual Function Study (PHASE) study.
The Sexuality and Well-being lab (SWell Lab) is looking for women and people with ovaries to participate in a ~30 to 45 min online survey in understanding people’s experiences of perimenopause and sexuality.
What is PHASE?
While millions of Canadian women and people with ovaries are currently in their perimenopause/menopause transition, research on this important women’s health issue is severely lacking. The goal of the PHASE study is to better understand the sexual and relational experiences of people experiencing perimenopause/menopause.
What is involved?
You will complete an online survey that will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes. You will be asked to answer some questions about your background, perimenopause/menopause symptoms, sexuality, and relationships.
You may be eligible if you:
*Inclusivity matters: PHASE is open to people of all genders, bodies, and sexual orientations.
*Individuals who are taking hormone replacement therapy or taking hormones for gender-affirming care are eligible to participate.
Type of compensation
Upon completion of the survey, you will be eligible to receive a $20 CAD (or USD equivalent) Amazon gift card as compensation for your time.
Contact
If you are interested, or have any questions, please contact us at perimenopauseproject@psych.ubc.ca or click here to complete the eligibility survey.
About the SWell Lab
The Sexuality and Well-being lab (SWell Lab) is a research laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia. They are a group of psychological scientists who conduct multi-method research to identify risk and protective factors contributing to individuals’ and couples’ sexual health and well-being.
Are you 18 years or older and fluent in English? Have a cellphone? You might be eligible to participate in this paid study opportunity!
The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress (DAS) Lab is conducting the Stress, Cognitive Control, and Repetitive Negative Thinking Study to investigate how stress affects the way people think and process information.
This study aims to see if biases in cognitive control change before and after stress stimuli and whether biological responses to stress are associated with stress-related changes in cognitive control biases.
This study involves 3 tasks, with 1 optional task as a follow-up.
Task 1 (~30 minutes) is an online pre-laboratory session questionnaire about your feelings, behaviours, and thinking patterns.
Task 2 (~2.5 hours) is an in-person laboratory session with 2 computer tasks and 2 verbal tasks, which non-invasively measures psychophysiological variables, like heart rate and skin conductance. During Task 2, you will be asked to provide saliva samples at 5 time points to examine salivary cortisol.
Task 3 (~1 hour) is short surveys about your feelings and behaviours, 8 times a day for 5 consecutive days, using ExpiWell’s phone application. To receive full compensation, you must complete at least 5 daily surveys.
Task 4 is the optional follow-up questionnaire 1 year after Task 2.
You will receive $25 for the baseline questionnaire and first session, as well as $15 for completing 5/8 of the daily at-home notification surveys. If you complete Task 4, you will be entered into a draw for a $50 Amazon gift card.
