Hi, my name’s Talia. I graduated from Rutgers University with a B.A. in Psychology and in Cognitive Science. In Fall 2015, I joined the Early Social Interaction Lab as a ph.D. student. As a researcher, I’m interested in how different people think, reason, and form beliefs – especially moral ones. As a not-just-a-researcher, I’m interested in running around outside (mountaineering, kayaking, and backpacking) and running around other places (learning languages and eating food). Here is a link to my website.

Charles Baxley joined the Early Social Interaction Lab as a doctoral student in Fall 2018. By paying close attention to the everyday experiences of children and adults, Charles is interested in utilizing mixed methods to further understand how people interact with situations involving morality, and how this interaction develops over the lifespan. Outside of research, Charles enjoys the thrill of competing in and watching basketball, as well as spending quality time with his wife, close friends, and family.

Margie joined the Early Social Interaction Lab as a doctoral student in Fall 2019. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Psychology and in French. She is interested in studying parent-child routines and interactions to better understand how prosocial behaviors, such as helping, develop and are socialized early in life. Outside of her research, Margie loves exploring new places, rock climbing, playing games, and making and eating sweets.
