White's research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, such as "Nature Communications", "Neurobiology of Learning and Memory", "Neuropsychopharmacology" and "Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education". White's thesis work was the first to identify a role for an understudied epigenetic mechanism in cocaine-associated learning and memory. Holcomb Scholarship Award for excellence in biological sciences. During his time at UCI, he was awarded the William F. Prior working at Mount Holyoke, White was an adjunct professor at Santa Ana College and a graduate student at the University of California Irvine (UCI). He seeks to use his research to inform therapeutic and policy approaches to combating addiction. White's work investigates the complex environmental and genetic factors that modulate addictive behaviors in mice. He has not strayed far from his early work, as he currently studies the molecular mechanisms that underlie cocaine-associated behaviors. This work led to his first peer-reviewed publication and a lasting passion for behavioral neuroscience research. At Dickinson College, he explored the role specific drug receptors played in methamphetamine-induced behaviors in mice.

The QSC staff is available to meet with you to help with time management, study skills, research opportunities - whatever you need to be successful in the sciences. So if you need to develop a study plan to master biology, are seeking help with an economics problem set, or are deciding whether or not to pursue a science or math degree, the QSC is here to equip you with the resources and skills you'll need to be successful.Īnnouncements about the QSC's workshops and events will be posted on the QSC scheduler home page and on the QSC Facebook page. The QSC is a great place to study, or to just take a break. We hold study sessions, workshops, and even fun study breaks at the center. The QSC is located in Smith Campus Center suite 228. If you would like to make an appointment to meet with one of the QSC Partners or check out the drop-in study session schedule, please visit the QSC Scheduler page.
Study sessions are offered free of charge to all Pomona students on a first-come, first-served basis. The QSC employs a team of peer tutors, our QSC Partners, who have been recommended by faculty members as students with a firm grasp of the course material and an ability and desire to teach their fellow Sagehens. The QSC is here to make sure you get the help you need to sharpen your quantitative skillset so you can perform better in your courses. Many courses in biology, chemistry, computer science, psychology, neuroscience, economics, politics, and sociology use quantitative methods (often having to do with statistical data analysis). These skills are not limited to just math and physics. In other words, the ability to take data (numerical, categorical, or ordinal), or scientific concepts, and make sense of them. What do we mean by quantitative skills? We mean those skills related to empirical inquiry via mathematical, statistical, or computational data gathering and analysis. The QSC is here help you succeed! For help with courses not on our schedule, please email us at QSC is here to help you get a handle on those quantitative methods, concepts, and questions that many Pomona College courses cover. The QSC offers both individual appointments and drop-in sessions (no appointment required) to Pomona College students free of charge in the areas of:
