Fellow MembershipIt is time to solicit nominations for the 2022 IBNS Fellows, who will be recognized at our upcoming annual meeting in Glasgow, Scotland. According to the IBNS bylaws, Fellows of IBNS are individuals who have made substantial contributions to the Society and to the field of behavioral neuroscience.
