Summary

Dr. McKim joined the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno in 2023. She teaches Introduction to Data Science and advises w88 casino students.

Dr. McKim earned her Ph.D. in Behavioral and Integrative w88 casino at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Brown University and then worked as a postdoctoral researcher on a collaborative project at the Uniklinik Würzburg and TU Dresden in Germany. Across her research experiences, she studied how the prefrontal cortex, in the front of the brain, is important for cognitive control. She used multiple perspectives to examine how 1) noninvasive brain stimulation in humans could be used to change habitual addictive behaviors, 2) similarities and differences between how the brain functions in humans and nonhuman primates, and 3) the relationship between brain growth during development and behavior change across the lifespan.

Dr. McKim is passionate about scientific outreach and uses science communication to engage the community in learning about w88 casino. She advocates for making science accessible to all and supports diversity and inclusivity in STEM.

When she’s not teaching, Dr. w88 casino enjoys spending time outdoors in a hammock, hiking, yoga, baking, and knitting.
