Laboratory for Child Brain Development

Kendyll is one of our research assistants at the LCBD. Their favorite thing about the LCBD is talking to participants about all the cool science we do in the lab! As a kid, Kendyll loved to play with Littlest Pet Shops and Webkinz, and they read many book series including Warrior Cats, Redwall, Harry Potter, and Spirit Animals. They also played video games including Animal Jam and Wizard101, and enjoyed sports such as archery and swimming. Today Kendyll still loves to play video, board, and tabletop games with their friends, and is an aspiring fantasy writer! They also enjoy visiting state and national parks and being outside in nature. Their cat Friedrich keeps them company in their apartment where he loves to play with toys and cuddle! Kendyll wants families at the LCBD to know they appreciate involving their kids in science from a young age!

The staff at the LCBD would like to wish everyone a warm and joyful holiday season! ☃️💝
