Dr. Brandon Scott
Dr. Scott is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Montana State University. He completed his doctorate training in Applied Developmental Psychology at the University of New Orleans under the mentorship of Dr. Carl Weems. Dr. Scott spent two years (2013-2015) as an NIMH T32 post-doctoral fellow at the ASU REACH Institute (formerly known as the Prevention Research Center) before coming to MSU. When not conducting research or teaching, he enjoys spending time with his amazing wife and children, exploring all Montana has to offer, and playing a round of golf, if the weather permits.
Katie Poppler
My name is Katie Poppler and I am in my third year of the Psychological Science Program at Montana State University. I study adolescent development and social psychology. More specifically, I am interested in how adolescents experience age-based discrimination. Given that I study development, part of my research examines how experiencing ageism might negatively influence important developmental processes. The CAALM Lab provides a unique opportunity to examine teenagers' physiology and study anxiety processes as a consequence of discrimination. I love to spend time outside and enjoy mountainous Montana, so I feel lucky to do this work in beautiful Bozeman!
