One student relates work in sleep research to real life as student athlete
January 26, 2018
Dr. Jim Buriak and Dr. John Creasy have been conducting research on how the amount of sleep a college athlete gets relates to anxiety and depression. Research assistant Emily Whitaker has been able to work directly with the data, take charge of tasks and become more familiar with various software. "I'm also a college athlete, so I find it really interesting to do these studies on athletes and see how it can relate to myself," Whitaker says. "It's something that I'm pretty interested in, and would consider continuing with graduate work."
