Project Implicit is Coming to NEOMED

The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, in collaboration with the Office of Student Services, cordially invites faculty and staff to join our new medicine and pharmacy students during their orientation week for a unique diversity development opportunity.

Leaders/researchers from Project Implicit through Harvard University will present on two dates.

We also have 200 spaces available on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 12-1:30 p.m. with presenter Dr. Calvin Lai, assistant professor of brain and psychological services at Washington University in St. Louis.

About Project Implicit

Project Implicit was founded in 1998 by three scientists – Dr. Tony Greenwald (University of Washington), Dr. Mahzarin Banaji (Harvard University), and Dr. Brian Nosek (University of Virginia).

Project Implicit Health (formerly Project Implicit Mental Health) launched in 2011 and is led by Dr. Bethany Teachman (University of Virginia) and Dr. Matt Nock (Harvard University). The mission of Project Implicit is to educate the public about bias and to provide a “virtual laboratory” for collecting data on the internet. Project Implicit scientists produce high-impact research that forms the basis of our scientific knowledge about bias and disparities. Learn more about the team and its programs and services.
