• Scott Huettel, NEUROSCI 258 Decision Neuroscience
• Greg Samanez-Larkin, NEUROSCI 462S Neuroscience Applications for Everyday Decision Making

“This is a great showing for our Neuroscience major,” said Dr. Leonard White, one of the faculty recognized. He is Associate Professor in Neurology and Co-Director, with Dr. Kevin LaBar, of Undergraduate Studies in Neuroscience. “It’s always nice to be recognized by your students.”
