• How emerging findings could inform treatment
• Ongoing controversies and academic debates in the field

Dr. Kiehl is Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Law at the University of New Mexico and Executive Science Officer of the Mind Research Network.

Every connection starts with a welcome.

Our new Conference Connections Program matches first-time attendees and students with experienced conference participants who can answer questions, make introductions, recommend sessions, and help you feel part of the ATSA community from day one.

If you're attending your first ATSA Conference, you don't have to navigate it alone.

Here's why ATSA Board Member Ali Tabb believes the program matters:

“When I attended my first ATSA Conference in 2019, I was new to the field. I was excited to learn, but I also wasn’t quite sure how to get plugged in or where to start. While everyone I met was welcoming, a large conference can still feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to navigate the sessions, meet people, and find your place in a new professional community.

The Conference Connections program was created with that experience in mind. We aim to make those first few days feel a little less intimidating and a lot more connected. Having someone to answer questions, help you get the lay of the land, and make introductions can help transform a conference from an overwhelming experience into the beginning of meaningful professional relationships and a lasting sense of belonging within the ATSA community.

Whether you're looking for a mentor or ready to welcome someone new, we'd love to help you make a connection.
