OSU Research on Tap

Connecting the community.
With a different researcher each month from the sciences, arts and humanities Research on Tap is an opportunity to have a conversation regarding their work and the impact it has on you and your community.
We hope you will join us the third Monday of each month to enjoy some of Stillwater’s own local brew while chatting about some of the interesting research happening here on the OSU campus. The event begins with approximately 20 minutes of conversation between the Vice President of Research and the researcher, followed by questions and answer session with the audience.

"Ordinary Magic with a Twist: Moving from Individual Resilience to Cumulative Protection"

 

We all know people who have survived and thrived despite growing up in challenging environments. Why do some people thrive while others struggle? This discussion will answer that question! During this installment of OSU Research on Tap, VP for Research Kenneth Sewell will talk with Dr. Amanda Morris about her groundbreaking work on protective and compensatory factors that families and communities can provide to help children thrive in the face of adversity. Dr. Morris’s studies of brain development in children and adolescents are paving the way for new approaches to understanding and promoting resilience.
