How can psychological science be explained through media, art and storytelling in popular culture? Find out at this presentation by clinical psychologist and pop culture enthusiast Andrea Letamend, who is associate director of Mental Health Training, Intervention and Response for the Office of Residential Life at the University of California Los Angeles.

Letamendi is also host of podcasts “The Arkham Sessions” and “Lattés with Leia.” Her work aims to accelerate and widen the impact of psychological science through community engagement, dissemination and de-stigmatization of mental health issues.
