Seeing Theory by Brown University is such a great interactive way to learn the fundamentals of probability in #psychstats! It has #dataviz for more advanced concepts like regression and ANOVA, too! 📊 #IOPsych seeing-theory.brown.edu/

I was incredibly fortunate to receive a research experience for undergraduates (REU) award, which was my first research opportunity. This REU opened my eyes to an entire world of professional research and a career path that I continue to pursue.
