Society for Neuroscience Presents Science Educator Award to Janet Zadina
The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Science Educator Award honors an outstanding neuroscientist who has made significant contributions to educating the public about neuroscience.
The Award, presented by the SfN President at the Annual Meeting in Washington DC on November 11, 2011, included a $5000 honorarium and opportunity to write a feature commentary on science education in The Journal of Neuroscience, the premier journal for Neuroscience.
The award committee cited the following:
“Janet Zadina has demonstrated a profound commitment to the emerging field of neuroeducation and has affected the lives of teachers and students on both domestic and international levels. She began her career in education and transitioned into neuroscience after developing an interest in MRI studies of dyslexia. Her efforts include developing resources to debunk common misconceptions about the brain, and keeping educators informed about credible brain research. Zadina also co-founded the Butterfly Project, a program intended to help teachers affected by natural disasters. She is currently an adjunct assistant professor at Tulane University School of Medicine.”
