RESEARCH

ADHD & neuroscience research

Exploring the brain alongside the environments in which people learn and live.

01 / NEUROSCIENCE

ADHD & the default mode network

A literature-based inquiry into attention and the interpretation of neuroscience findings.

Jeemin’s research materials focus on how studies of the default mode network approach ADHD. The central task is comparison: looking at differences in study design, participants, task demands, and the explanations offered for the results.

Questions guiding the work

  • How do different tasks change what a study observes?
  • What can an association between brain activity and behavior establish?
  • How can research findings be explained without reducing a person to a diagnosis?
Research scope: literature review. This work is not a clinical trial or a diagnostic tool.
02 / BIOINFORMATICS

Learning to work with biological data

Jeemin’s résumé describes bioinformatics study through the Boz Institute, including R, RNA-seq analysis, and statistical questions involving BRCA1/2 mutations. This area connects her interests in biological systems and quantitative reasoning.

Methods, interpretation, and the limits of a dataset are central to communicating a result responsibly.

03 / ANTHROPOLOGY

What changes when an explanation crosses a border?

The next set of questions concerns language, migration, and the institutions families encounter. The developing book considers how people understand attention through cultural expectations, school communication, and scientific descriptions.
