About Dr. Nelson

Rebecca Hansen

I joined the LCN in June of 2007. Prior to that time, I worked in a variety of fields, including running a preschool after school program, promoting youth programs at a Boston public relations firm, and teaching college-level writing while pursuing my MFA at Emerson College. All of those experiences have been shaped by my interest in how children and adolescents learn, whether at the preschool or college level. Through my work here in the lab, I have been able to continue to pursue that interest in new and exciting ways. As Recruitment Coordinator, I have the opportunity to raise awareness of the lab's work within the Greater Boston community. I truly enjoy talking with people about how we are working to improve our understanding of infant and child development. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions, or if you are interested in signing up for our Participant Recruitment Database, through which families with infants and children have the option to be contacted about ongoing research opportunities.
