LuLu Eisenberg started working in the Marinelli lab as an undergraduate student in the summer of 2022. She has a strong appreciation for skepticism and loved being in Micky Marinelli’s Analytical Skepticism course in the spring of 2022. In the lab she is working with data to determine evidence-based practices alternative to seclusion and restraint in public schools. She has also started a new project seeking to make science literature more digestible to the general public and even people within the field. She plans to go to graduate school to continue studying neuroscience in the fall of 2023.
As a high school senior she had an internship at the University of Texas at Dallas in Dr. Theodore Price’s Neuroscience Lab. Daily, she assisted a postdoctoral scientist with pain neurobiology research in a mouse model. In 2020, through the Freshman Research Initiative, she worked with Dr. Molly Cummings and Dr. Mary Ramsey on mate choice research within the Poeciliidae family at the University of Texas at Austin. In the summer of 2021, she did research with Dr. Mary Ramsey testing cognition and anxiety using a Barnes Maze apparatus. She was also a research mentor to high school students and freshman students through that lab. From 2021-2022, she assisted with research in Dr. Greg Fonzo’s lab at UT Dell Medical School using fMRI machines to study affective disorders.
Along with her lab research, LuLu is on the Executive Board for University Fashion Group, UT Austin’s premier professional fashion organization. She is the Vice President of Production for the 2022-2023 school year and served as the Model Director for the 2021-2022 school year.
In her free time LuLu loves making and styling clothes, exploring outdoors, rollerblading, going to concerts, and connecting with others.
