The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has awarded The Peter and Patricia Gruber International Research Award in Neuroscience to Shantanu P. Jadhav, PhD, of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and Dengke K. Ma, PhD, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The award recognizes two promising young scientists for outstanding research and educational pursuit in an international setting. It is supported by The Gruber Foundation and includes $25,000 for each recipient. The award was presented during Neuroscience 2013, SfN’s annual meeting and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.

As a leader in the scientific society community, SfN is committed to supporting discovery and scientific dialogues, and to fostering a welcoming community in which all scientists are able to contribute fully. Following discussions at the Fall meeting, SfN’s Council approved a set of changes and enhancements to SfN’s Ethics Policy and Code of Conduct.
