Cornelia “Cori” Bargmann, PhD, of The Rockefeller University, and Gerald “Gerry” Rubin, PhD, of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus, have been awarded the 2024 Gruber Neuroscience Prize. The award recognizes their pioneering work in elucidating the organization of circuits in behavior, and for their work in developing new genetics tools, which have advanced the entire field of neuroscience.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) strongly advocates for the responsible and ethical use of animals in biomedical research, including the use of non-human primates (NHPs). NHPs continue to serve a critical role in advancing scientific understanding of the brain.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has selected 10 members from a highly competitive applicant pool to participate in the Society’s annual Capitol Hill Day on March 12–14, 2024.

SfN Past Presidents Eve Marder and Huda Akil were each awarded the National Medal of Science by President Joe Biden in a ceremony on October 24. The National Medal of Science the highest recognition the U.S. bestows on scientists and engineers.

SfN Journals and Elsevier announced a new educational series for early career neuroscientists as they pursue publication in research journals. This one-year pilot program will begin with an interactive panel discussion on November 14 at SfN’s annual meeting, Neuroscience 2023, followed by three webinars in 2024.

The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is supporting a record 447 neuroscience trainees to attend Neuroscience 2023 through the Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) program. Over $500,000 in generous donations — the largest amount ever raised for this program — were contributed by individual donors to the Friends of SfN Fund, foundation and corporate supporters, and SfN Council.
