Congratulations to Mathieu for being the 2018 winner of the Bob Fox Award of Excellence in Postdoctoral Research.
This award is granted to a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Psychology at Vanderbilt who has demonstrated outstanding achievement in research. It is named in honor of Robert “Bob” Fox for his essential role in guiding the evolution of of the department over a five-decade period starting in the mid-60’s. Bob enjoyed a highly productive research career, with publications in major journals and continuous grant funding for decades, and he trained a number of students and postdocs who went on to successful careers themselves. Bob has served as an inspiration to generations of subsequent faculty members. This award not only serves as a humble note of appreciation for Bob’s numerous accomplishments, it also acknowledges the critical role that postdoctoral fellows play in the scientific vibrancy of our department. Postdocs are not only highly skilled, accomplished and dedicated young scientists, they also are reference models for our graduate students and are the first to represent Vanderbilt at the next academic level.
