The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) announced the 15 neuroscience trainees in the inaugural class of the Leadership Development Program (LDP). This two-year pilot program, supported in part by the Dana Foundation, will offer professional development training for exceptional trainees and future leaders in the field of brain science.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has announced that Antonio Fernandez-Ruiz, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at New York University, and Julia Sliwa, PhD, an investigator at the Brain and Spine Institute (ICM) in Paris, will receive this year’s Peter and Patricia Gruber International Research Awards.

John Rinzel, PhD, will receive the 2019 Swartz Prize for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience. The 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.

Developed in partnership with ARTECHOUSE, Neuro Space, an innovative installation created at the intersection of art, science and technology, takes visitors through a technology-based evolution of how scientists view neurons.
