Just some examples of what the Alcohol Lab has meant to current and previous lab members...

 

"I loved working in the lab. I know that the wonderful research experience I had from the lab helped me get into my grad school program. It is one thing to be a worker in a lab. But when I was able to explain the studies we worked on in the lab, they seemed to be impressed. I loved the alcohol lab because I didn't just learn the protocol; I learned what it was for and what the results implicated."

 

"Alcohol lab instilled in me a great appreciation for and love of research, specifically animal models. Working in a close knit team towards a greater goal, participating in literature discussions, and fusing these experiences into cohesive writing truly prepared me for my current job. It gave me confidence in my abilities as a researcher and I will never forget the time I spent in lab. I urge all psychology students to participate in research during their time at TCNJ, but I definitely have a strong bias towards the alcohol lab."

"[Alcohol] lab was a great learning experience, teaching research and publication techniques that I used throughout medical school. More importantly, I met a lot of amazing people, made new friends, and had a great time."

 

"For people with an interest in behavioral neuroscience, the alcohol lab is the most rewarding experience available. You will emerge with the paramount ability to critically interpret recent literature and the fluency to command a genuine discussion on substance use disorders. Moreover, the insight and experience gained from running the involved experiments at the level offered by the alcohol lab is a rare find in a small liberal arts college."
