Safety and understanding behind York prof’s new psych lab on sexual behaviours
Professor Andrew Brankley’s new SAVE Lab hopes to explore “the factors that cause violent and harmful sexual behaviour” — and enhance public safety in doing so.
Hale is a third year student in Public Administration with a Minor in Psychology. He loves politics and sits on a few boards and committees at York, including the Student Centre Board of Directors, the Student Council for LA&PS, and the university’s academic senate. As health editor, he wants to see how medical and scientific research can inform political and organizational decisions, and believes that well-communicated science can improve outcomes for everyone. Outside of work, he enjoys cooking, traveling, hiking, camping, photography, and watching 90’s sitcoms.
