LSAN Graduate Student Naomi Nero Recognized for Outstanding Achievements

LSAN Graduate Student Naomi Nero has received well-deserved recognition this year for her record of research, mentorship, and scientific communication. She designed and led a popular undergraduate seminar “Psychopathy Among Us” this past fall for which she was awarded the Graduate Student Teaching Award for the social sciences division. She also was awarded the Cheryl Wynne Hare Award at the 2026 Society for the Scientific Study of Psychopathy Biennial Conference for her poster and blitz talk, “Doing worse but feeling better: Understanding the paradoxical associations between psychopathy and objective and subjective well-being.” Her research found that psychopathy is associated with higher subjective, but worse objective well-being, with both outcomes suppressed by increased antisocial and reduced prosocial behaviors. Congratulations Naomi on your accomplishments!
