When Queen Máxima of the Netherlands visited San Francisco this week to celebrate her country’s economic ties with California, a UC Davis couple was on hand to celebrate their own Dutch connections and to represent the campus. Husband and wife psychology professors George “Ron” Mangun, who is American, and Tamara Swaab, who is Dutch, were invited guests at a Sept. 6 royal reception at San Francisco City Hall.
Tamara Swaab, a professor in the UC Davis Department of Psychology and at the Center for Mind and Brain, was recently named a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science for her contributions to the understanding of human language and cognition.
