Graphic announcing: “Nominations for Fellows of the Cognitive Science Society are open until Nov 1.” The word “Fellows” is large and bold. To the right, there is a calendar icon showing November 1. Decorative starburst graphic above the text.
The CogSci Society is accepting nominations for 🌟Fellows of the Society🌟
Fellows are individuals whose research has exhibited sustained excellence and had sustained impact on the #CogSci community.
Visit cognitivesciencesociety.org/fellows/ and submit your nomination until November 1st!
NSF unexpectedly changed (at the last minute) who is eligible to apply for the Grad Research Fellowship, dropping 2nd year students. We started a petition to reverse this unfair change, Sign here:
