The 72nd Annual Eastern Colleges Science Conference Ithaca College 21 April 2018 Program Book MEETING WELCOME Welcome to ECSC 2018 and Ithaca College! It’s my great pleasure to welcome you all to Ithaca College for the 72nd Eastern Colleges Science Conference. We are excited to be welcoming students and faculty from nearly 20 colleges and universities, representing dozens of fields in the social and natural sciences. I have been attending ECSC with my own research students since 1989, and I have always found it be an incredibly rewarding experience for both me and for my undergraduate students in psychology. Students are delighted to have the opportunity to share their research with faculty and other students, explaining their findings and answering questions about their methods and the implications of their research for the field. My students have come back from ECSC weekend really jazzed about doing research, and proud of representing their work and Ithaca College. I hope that all of you have the same experience this weekend. I encourage you to attend as many platform presentations and view as many posters as you can – including ones from areas outside your own field. Ask questions, engage in discussions about the implications of the findings, and make connections with students from other colleges and universities. In this era of “fake news” and distrust of facts and news media, scientific thinking is more important than ever before. It is such a privilege and a pleasure to gather together with a large group of scientists (of many ages) to celebrate the work that we do.
