The department of Psychology at UL has a strong collaborative environment between researchers, encouraging us all to support each other in our research efforts. The department has an existing Think Tank for the Centre for Social Issues Research (CSI-R) that meets every week to discuss papers, methodological issues, and novel research in the area of social issues and social psychology. In the spirit of this, SASH Lab has started up its own Think Tank to discuss similar topics

We've almost finished the preparations for our lab to open and we think it looks great! #ul #ulspitstudy #limerickpost #psychology #stressstudy

Alan Jacques of the Limerick Post was interested to hear about our study, giving it its new nickname "The UL Spit Study"! He asked Stephen and Rachel to give him the scoop on the plans for the study and for the lab, and gave us a great write-up in print and online.
