The Society for Neuroscience has awarded University of Richmond psychology professor and behavioral neuroscientist Kelly Lambert its 2023 Science Educator Award.
The award honors neuroscientists who have made significant contributions to educating the public about neuroscience. The award announcement noted that Professor Lambert “deftly merges best practices in education with outstanding science that makes neuroscience accessible, interesting, and fun for both her students and the community at large.”
“Making science accessible is a core principle in my approach to teaching and research,” said Dr. Lambert, the MacEldin Trawick Professor in Psychology. “Science outreach is so important to lab research and education, and, in my case, helping people learn more about the brain. That’s a win for me.”
Dr. Lambert is a graduate of Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. She holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. from the University of Georgia.
