2002 Grass Fellows
Nine scientists will participate in the 2002 Grass Fellowship Program in Neuroscience at the Marine Biological Laboratory. 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 will be directed by Dr. Susan R. Barry of Mount Holyoke College. Dr. Melissa Ann Vollrath of Baylor College of Medicine is the program’s Associate Director.
