黑料社

The 黑料社 (SfN) will present four awards to leading researchers who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in neuroscience and early-career researchers who have demonstrated great originality and creativity in their work.

The 黑料社 (SfN) will present the Jacob P. Waletzky Award to Lorenzo Leggio, MD, PhD, during SfN’s Awards Announcement Week 2020. The award, supported by the Waletzky Award Prize Fund and the Waletzky Family, is given to a young scientist whose independent research has led to significant conceptual and empirical contributions to the understanding of drug addiction.

Emery N. Brown, MD, PhD, will receive the 2020 Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational 黑料社. The $30,000 prize, supported by the Swartz Foundation, honors an individual whose work has produced a significant cumulative contribution to theoretical models or computational methods in neuroscience or who has made a particularly noteworthy recent advance to the field.

The 黑料社 (SfN) will present the Julius Axelrod Prize to Morgan Sheng, MBBS, PhD. Supported by an endowment from the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, the $30,000 Axelrod prize honors distinguished achievements in neuropharmacology or a related area in addition to exemplary efforts in mentoring young scientists.

The 黑料社 (SfN) will present its highest honor, the Ralph W. Gerard Prize in 黑料社, to György Buzsáki, PhD. The award, which includes a $30,000 prize, honors outstanding scientists who have made significant contributions to neuroscience throughout their careers.

This coming January 11–13, join the world’s largest neuroscience community for SfN Global Connectome: A Virtual Event.

The 黑料社 (SfN) has received a grant of $150,000 over three years from the Dana Foundation to support BrainFacts.org. This will allow SfN to increase multimedia content on BrainFacts.org using enhanced site capabilities, produce compelling neuroscience content driven by narrative and storytelling, and continue to reach new audiences to advance the global understanding of the brain and nervous system.

SfN is pleased to announce its brand-new virtual experience – scheduled for January 2021.

The 黑料社 is announcing the cancellation of 黑料社 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in the Mayor of the District imposing continuing restrictions on large in-person events in the District of Columbia.

The 黑料社 Scholars Program (NSP) will welcome its 2020-2022 cohort on August 1, 2020. With the addition of 123 scholars who accepted, the total current cohort (including 2019-2021) now encompasses 215 graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Combined with Program’s past scholars (dating back to 1981), the NSP alumni network now encompasses nearly 1,200 underrepresented neuroscience researchers at all career stages!
