Annie Barrett ’24 wins Watson Fellowship!
Congratulations to Been Lab senior Annie Barrett who was awarded the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, a one-year grant for purposeful, independent exploration outside the United States. Barrett’s project, titled “Cultural Influences on the Experience of Dementia Patients,” will explore how differing approaches across cultures inform elder care. She will spend the year traveling to South Africa, Tanzania, New Zealand, Japan, and the Netherlands to explore this question. Read more about her project here. Congrats, Annie!
