    Interview with Dr Young-Suk Kim
    Jul 14 2020
    Young-Suk Grace Kim, Ed.D., is a professor at University of California, Irvine. She received her Ed.D. at Harvard University in Human Development and Psychology with a concentration on Language and Literacy, and a minor concentration on Quantitative Policy Analysis in Education. She holds Master’s degrees in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) as well as in Human Development and Culture. She was a former classroom teacher at the primary and secondary schools, and community college in San Francisco, California. She was an associate director at the Florida Center for Reading Research and a faculty member at the Florida State University.
    Professor Kim’s primary research areas include development in language, cognition, and literacy acquisition and instruction across languages and writing systems, including dyslexia and dysgraphia. Her work includes reading comprehension, reading fluency, listening comprehension, academic language, higher order cognitive skills, written composition for English-speaking children, Dual Language Learners, English learners, and children learning to read other languages (Korean, Spanish, Chinese). She examines how various factors co-develop and interact each other. Her research has been supported by the Institute of Education Science, U. S. Department of Education, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
    Dr. Kim received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) by President Barack Obama; and the Developing Scholar Award and University Teaching Award. She currently serves as an associate editor for the Journal of Educational Psychology, and editorial board for several journals including Reading Research Quarterly, Journal of School Psychology, School Psychology Review, Educational Researcher, and AERA Open.

  • Interview with Dr Carol Connor

    Interview with Dr Carol Connor
    Jul 14 2020
    Dr Carol Connor is the Chancellor's Professor at UCI's School of Education and her research focuses on examining the links between children’s language, cognitive, social-emotional, and literacy and mathematics development from preschool through the elementary grades. Understanding these links may illuminate reasons for the perplexing difficulties children who are atypical and diverse learners have developing basic and advanced reading, writing, and math skills. Most recently, her research interests have focused on children’s learning in the classroom – from preschool through fifth grade – with particular focus on reading comprehension and mathematics, children living in poverty, and how technology might improve the instruction they receive. This line of research is revealing how the effectiveness of specific instructional activities depends on the language, self-regulation, and reading or math skills children bring with them to school; these child-by-instruction interaction effects are evident as early as preschool and continue at least through third grade for a number of child language, literacy, and math outcomes.

    Interview with Dr Daniele Piomeli
    Jul 14 2020
    Dr. Piomelli was trained in neuroscience and pharmacology. Research in his lab is focused on the function of lipid-derived messengers, with particular emphasis on the endogenous cannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol. Current research efforts converge on three areas: formation and deactivation of anandamide and 2-arachidonylglycerol; physiological roles of the endogenous cannabinoid system; development of therapeutic agents that target anandamide and 2-arachidonylglycerol metabolism.
