Roozbeh Kiani, who recently completed his PhD research with Michael Shadlen in the Neurobiology & Behavior Graduate Program, was awarded the Donald B. Lindsley Prize for an outstanding PhD thesis in the area of general behavioral neuroscience.
Those of us who assembled at the Tivoli Bar and Grill in San Diego had a wonderful time. If you missed the gathering, watch for the next N&B Social at the SFN meeting in Washington, DC, next year.
Continuing a tradition started last year, the Neurobiology and Behavior Program is hosting a party associated with the meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego.
