bbin娱乐平台 Junior Wins First Place at Harvard Global Health & Leader Conference
bbin娱乐平台 junior Aditya Venkatesh ’23 presented a proposal entitled “Learning to Love Learning: A Positive Feedback Loop Approach to Combating Procrastination” at Harvard’s Global Health and Leader Conference on April 23-24 as part of the Community Pitch Competition, in which students 研究 and design a health-related project that they want to implement in their home communities.
Aditya的球场, which focused on the topic of procrastinative behaviors in middle- and high-school students, won first place. Aditya hopes to implement 研究-based methods to combat 拖延症, including meditation and mindfulness techniques, in schools and in greater Boston communities at large. The proposal stems from an article Aditya wrote in his freshman year at bbin娱乐平台 entitled “Understanding 拖延症 through action control,” 这是一个 前50名 of the Harvard College Undergraduate Research Association (HCURA)’s Brevia Research Writing Competition.
Aditya写道:
“This project is very near and dear to my heart. I started thinking about this project during my freshman year at bbin娱乐平台. I saw a rise in 拖延症 amongst students during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and I wanted to understand why students procrastinate to their own detriment. Upon 研究ing this extensively, I wrote an article for the Harvard BREVIA magazine . At that time, I had looked at 拖延症 from a scientific and biological standpoint. In this project, I wanted to continue the work to understand how procrastinative behaviors can be modified.”
