Hackley Alumna Shares Lie Detector Research With ISRP Students

One sophomore commented, “I think it was really cool how she said that what we consider to be signs of lying aren't actually signs.”

Another student “enjoyed hearing about the difference between academia and industry, and her examples for both categories illustrated the difference between the two. I liked the example of being able to design a study about jazz music and how she had that freedom, while in industry jobs, her work was more catered toward what the company wanted.”

Professor Levine also highlighted how Hackley prepared her for both college and the research world by teaching her how to communicate professionally and ask for what she wanted. Although her path was not linear, each of her experiences along the way have helped her get to her current position as a research scientist.

Another student remarked, “I really [appreciated] the fact that the speaker studied two things which were previously thought to be unrelated (Psychology & CS) and made a career out of it nevertheless. I also really liked her idea of taking a class in every subject, and I completely agree with the idea that trying new things out at least once can be a life-changing experience.” 

We look forward to reading Professor Levine’s research when it is published in the near future!
