Congratulations to Helena Saven (C’ 26) for her incredible work this summer during her time as a MindCORE summer research fellow! Over the past 9 weeks, Helena worked under Dr. Rebecca Waller, in collaboration with Isabel Mossin and Dr. Yael Paz, to look at the effects of adverse childhood experiences on adult’s responses to videos of physical touch. Aiming to shed light on the lifelong impacts of childhood abuse, this continuing project will lead to meaningful insights into how these experiences affect survivors’ relationships to touch in adulthood.
