2001 Grass Fellows

Eleven scientists participated in the Grass Fellowship Program in Neuroscience at the Marine Biological Laboratory for the summer of 2001. The program, which is sponsored by The Grass Foundation and offers independent research opportunities to young neuroscientists, is now in its 50th year. This summer’s program was directed by David Bodznick of Wesleyan University. Brian Link of Harvard University was the program’s Associate Director.
