This month, I made the rounds to Atlanta-area university grantees. Kennesaw State hosted me and had representation from Georgia State, Morehouse, Georgia Tech, and Clark Atlantic.

One highlight, among many, was learning about Professor Ebony Glover’s groundbreaking work on fear conditioning at Kennesaw’s Neuroscience Lab. I also met with faculty and students, learned about their interdisciplinary research, and shared my career trajectory and goals for NIJ and the field.

It’s essential that public safety professionals and policymakers partner with local community stakeholders to develop data-driven, tailored solutions for local crime problems.
