Mentoring and PhD Thesis Prizes 2016 announced

Prof. David Attwell,Fellow of the Royal Society (University College London) has been awarded the inaugural FENS-KAVLI Network of Excellence Mentoring Prize for his outstanding contributions to mentoring the careers of neuroscientists. This prize was funded because FENS-KAVLI Scholars recognize that mentoring plays an essential role in fostering the career development, but mentoring efforts are often not recognized or rewarded in a scientific career. 

Dr. Linda Katona (University of Oxford) has been awarded the inaugural FENS-KAVLI Network of Excellence Ph.D. Thesis Prize. The thesis published by Dr.Katona – originally from Hungary, who graduated from the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Oxford – is a masterpiece for its depth, the originality of the experimental approach employed, as well as for the new insights obtained by her results.
