- Wits University
The American Psychological Association (APA) recently profiled Wits neuropsychologist Dr Sahba Besharati in its Editor Spotlight story.
Besharati, PhD, is a researcher in Psychology in the School of Human and Community, and a MIND Fellow at Wits University. She is the co-founder and Joint Director of the University’s Neuroscience Research Laboratory – – which aims to promote neuroscience research conducted in the South µÚÒ»³Ô¹ÏÍø context.
Besharati is a former Editorial Fellow of Neuropsychology. At the end of her term, she was invited to be a consulting editor of the journal.
“The APA Editorial Fellowship programme is a very special Editorial Programme, for early career researchers from historically underprivileged regions, that runs across several APA journals. I am hoping that spotlighting this story will help other Early Career Researchers from Wits – and beyond – to apply," says Besharati.
