We are delighted to announce our 2021-2022 Merlin Student Scholar Fellow, Julianna Breit. Julianna is our first undergraduate fellow. A junior at Carroll College, Julianna is double-majoring in Biochemistry and Philosophy with minors in Ethics and Value Studies, Neuroscience, and Chemistry.
Valuing inquisition, creativity, integration, restoration and understanding, Julianna strives to unite philosophy and neuroscience. Her current research interests include Phenomenology of Emotion, Trauma, and Empathy. She is interested in pursuing a holistic perspective of body and mind that will help to inform her understanding of the human experience and her work in the field.
Julianna's fellowship will involve a combination of research, writing and philosophy in the community activities focusing on the neuroscientific and philosophical implications of sadness and grief. You may recognize her smiling face from one of her current and past community endeavors, including volunteering with St. Peter’s Health, the Friendship Center, Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, FoodShare, and NODA.
