Pittsburgh friends: mark your calendars for an in-person CNBC colloquium by Sarah Garfinkel! Sarah Garfinkel UCL ICN Thursday, April 20, 4pm, Mellon Institute 2nd Floor Auditorium Join us and learn about Prof. Garfinkel's brilliant research on #interoception and ❤️-🧠 interactions!

Spoiler alert: Peter Strick Pitt Health Sciences told Jon Hamilton that he views this research as "a fundamental change in how we're going to view the motor cortex."

Neurobiologist William Stauffer Pitt Health Sciences and his team put some thought into a study just published in Nature Neuroscience that shows for the first time that monkeys are deep thinkers: neurosciencenews.com/monkey-cogniti…

Very humbled and thrilled to be the recipient of the Flux Huttenlocher Award in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. An award I developed 10 years ago with the hope that one day I may be considered. A heartfelt thank you to the members and the board for their support.
