Keynote Speaker
Kaitlyn M. Werner, PhD
University of Oregon
Kaitlyn M. Werner, PhD is an NIH Diversity Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oregon where she studies the motivational and affective mechanisms of goal pursuit and behaviour change. She completed her PhD in social, personality, and health psychology at Carleton University in Canada in 2019 and has since completed several competitive fellowships at the University of Toronto and University of Pennsylvania.
Kaitlyn will discuss her discovery of a passion for research and her unorthodox journey in pursuing unique career opportunities, such as developing a mentorship network and engaging in diverse research collaborations internationally. As a first-generation student, she aims to motivate future scientists, demonstrating that individuals from any background can achieve success by embracing their distinctiveness and forging a personal path in academia.
