Message from the Director, Dr. Todd Golde
Dear Colleagues:
It's hard to believe that the summer semester is upon us, although in a much different fashion than we ever anticipated.
I want to thank everyone in the neuroscience research community for their efforts during these challenging times. Many have had to wind down their research activities to help flatten the curve, but they’ve found creative ways to keep their research alive and have rallied around their colleagues on the front lines. Thanks to their positive spirit, I know we’ll emerge from this stronger and more resilient.
I'd also like to thank longtime neuroscience chair Dr. Lucia Notterpek, who recently accepted a new leadership role at the University of Nevada, for all she's done for neuroscience at UF, and congratulate Dr. Jennifer Bizon, who has taken the helm as interim chair. Dr. Bizon has done an outstanding job co-leading the MBI's Education and Outreach efforts and serving on our Executive Committee, and I know she'll excel in this new role. Be sure to read about this leadership transition and Dr. Notterpek’s accomplishments in this newsletter.
Please stay safe, enjoy your summer and stay tuned for more information about our reopening efforts in the coming weeks and months.
