Nikki Saadat worked as a visiting research associate in Jesse Bering's laboratory at the University of Otago in New Zealand from July to September 2015 and returned in October to complete a project. Initially hesitant to sponsor an undergraduate student from abroad, Bering was impressed by Nikki's letters of recommendation and conversations, finding her to be an exceptionally ambitious and bright young woman. Nikki exceeded expectations by cultivating material for Bering's book project, organizing a major university event on the science of sex attended by hundreds, and serving as a research assistant for psychology experiments. Bering strongly endorses Nikki for her work ethic, interpersonal skills, and commitment to learning.
