Jin Bo ( Ph.D candidate ), a pediatrician from China, joined NACS and Dr. Clarks lab. She sought exposure to research methods and clinical experience, studying the relationship between behavior and brain function in children. Jin Bo hopes research will provide alternatives to prescribing medicine to children for atypical behavior. | More | |
