Laura Steenbergen's journey in academia began with a strong mentorship under Lorenza Colzato during her undergraduate studies at Leiden University. As she transitioned from student to researcher, Steenbergen grappled with ethical issues in Colzato's research practices, such as inadequate reporting and ethics approval timelines. Despite her initial doubts being dismissed and the internal environment limiting recourse for concerns, she found camaraderie with fellow researchers. This realization was crucial as she commenced a postdoctoral position, solidifying her resolve to contribute meaningfully to the field of cognitive psychology.
Steenbergen's initial struggles as a student made her question the research ethics and practices under her mentor, who often dismissed her concerns.
Despite the difficulties in addressing these issues, Steenbergen's realization of shared concerns among junior researchers marked a pivotal moment in her career.
The close-knit environment of the Cognitive Psychology Unit complicated their ability to voice concerns about research practices, limiting options for junior researchers.
Steenbergen's determination to pursue her scientific career remained strong, despite facing ethical dilemmas during her time under her mentor's supervision.
