Earlier this month members of EBRL attended the annual meeting for the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (CNS). Each year the Cognitive Neuroscience Society holds a meeting in the spring to gather top minds in the field of neuroscience to share the latest in research. These meetings are filled with guest speakers, symposiums, poster sessions, and awards. Academic conferences like these can be a key component in research; allowing researchers to connect with each other and challenge their preconceived notions. By all accounts, our PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers had a lovely time learning from their fellow neuroscientists and presenting their own research to their peers. This years CNS meeting was held in Vancouver, BC, Canada on March 7-10th, 2026. If you’d like to find out more about the Cognitive Neuroscience Society or their annual meeting, I encourage you to check out their website here. We might even see you at the next annual meeting on March 20-23rd, 2027 in Boston, Massachusetts!

Emily Harriott wins NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

by Education Brian Generic 0 Comments

The National Science Foundation has a long history of investing in students with demonstrated potential for significant achievements in science and engineering. This year, EBRL’s own Emily Harriott was awarded the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship from their Developmental Psychology division. About 12,000 students apply annually for the fellowship across the United States and only about 2,000 receive awards, making it an intensely competitive award. An honor so rare, in fact, that Emily holds the honor for being the first student from EBRL to receive it!

The five-year fellowship provides three years of financial support taking into account an annual stipend of $37,000. According to the National Science Foundation, forty of the past beneficiaries have gone on to become Nobel laureates, and more than 440 have become members of the National Academy of Sciences. If you’d like to find out more about the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, see their website at this link or read about the history of the fellowship here.
