Grid 1 President’s Welcome 2013 Convention of the Eastern Psychological Association Welcome to the 84th meeting of the Eastern Psychological Association. This meeting promises to be a very exciting and stimulating one, not just because of our meeting location in the heart of Times Square but also because of the many fabulous speakers who will be discussing their work with us. The theme of the meeting is “Consuming Psychological Science.” Therefore, speakers will be discussing food consumption from many different perspectives including sensory, developmental, social, learning, clinical, and cognitive. Some of the highlights: - Kicking off the meeting, Linda Bartoshuk (University of Florida) will be giving the Psi Chi/EPA Invited Address, “Why do we like some foods and hate others? Can we do anything about it?” - The Presidential Integrative Symposium “ Why we eat what we eat” will have Jeff Brunstrom (University of Bristol), Marcia Pelchat (Monell Chemical Senses Research Center) and Peter Herman (University of Toronto) discussing their work in an attempt to explain human eating. - In a second symposium “New insights into the biology, associated psychopathology, and prevention of obesity” Allan Geliebter (Columbia University Medical Center/Touro College), Susan Carnell (Columbia University Medical Center), Laurence Nolan (Wagner College), and David Levitsky (Cornell University) will discuss some recent findings about obesity. - Other invited speakers including Paul Rozin (University of Pennsylvania), Janet Polivy (University of Toronto) Brian Wansink (Cornell University), Julie Menella (Monell Chemical Senses Research Center) and Terry Davidson (American University) will be presenting invited addresses on the topic of food and eating. Yes, there are non-food-related presentations too! Some of the highlights: - In celebration of the 50 year anniversary of Richard Solomon’s presidency of the Eastern Psychological Association, one of his most prominent students, Steve Maier (University of Colorado), will present the Richard Solomon Invited Address. - Jerome Bruner (New York University) will be interviewed by our new Historian, Robin Cautin (Manhattanville College) about his career and Cognitive Psychology - Many more invited speakers include Saul Kassin (John Jay College of Criminal Justice) an expert on false confessions, Alan Leslie (Rutgers University) who was part of the group who discovered that autistic children have an impaired Theory of Mind, and Philip Zimbardo (Stanford University). There are many more wonderful talks, symposia, and posters. Please take this opportunity to consume not only some psychological science but also some of the fabulous food New York City has to offer. I would like to thank all of the people who have worked long and hard to put this conference together. In particular, I would like to thank Executive Officer Fred Bonato and the hardworking Program Committee chaired by Daniel Gottlieb. In addition, thanks to the many others who contributed their time and energy including the Board of Directors and the student assistants and volunteers. Enjoy the meeting! Debra A.

By virtue of its honorific status, the Board intended the Fellow designation not only to increase retention of existing members but to attract new ones. The Board also hoped that the Fellows would play an important leadership role in the Association, particularly at the annual meeting.
