Two early-career Washington University faculty members have been awarded a prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship: psychologist Zachariah Reagh, in Arts & Sciences, and neuroscientist Gaia Tavoni, at the School of Medicine.
Sarah Ackerman, PhD, is one of 13 early-career scientists in the U.S. to receive the 2023 Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in Neuroscience. She will receive a three-year $300,000 grant to pursue high-risk, cutting-edge research.
Carol B. Loeb and her late husband, Jerome T. Loeb, made a gift establishing a unique fellowship program that would provide School of Medicine faculty with protected time and funding to pilot innovative approaches to training future physicians. Eighteen years later, 29 faculty members have been named Carol B. and Jerome T. Loeb Teaching Fellows, and the program has become an idea generator and incubator, professional springboard, vibrant community and much more.
