User:EmilySilvis

My name is Emily Silvis and I am currently an undergraduate research assistant in Dr. Steve Lee's UCLA ADHD and Development Lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Psychobiology (B.S). I plan on attending medical school and specialize in pediatrics. I am especially interested in the intersection between mental health and primary care settings.

My wikipedia editing is done in association with the Helping Give Away Psychological Science organization (HGAPS), a 501(c)3 which was started in 2016 at UNC Chapel Hill. I am the current past-president of the UNC Chapel Hill branch of HGAPS, which was the inaugural branch of HGAPS. HGAPS works to create and update Wikipedia pages for evidence-based psychological assessments and other educational and informational evidence-based resources for clinicians and the general public that are: (a) high in quality; (b) free; and (c) easily accessible. We also respond to current events and popular topics with psychological first aid.
