Congratulations to Ilya Nemenman who has been named a Simons Investigator in Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
Class of 2021 Biology Majors:
We want to take this moment to congratulate you for completing your studies,
and thus, earning your degrees. You should be proud of your accomplishments. View this video with messages from our faculty.
Sam Sober and his postdoc, Bryce Chung, have worked with electrical engineers at Georgia Tech to create electrode array technology. "Our device will be the first to let researchers and clinicians record high-resolution electrical activity simultaneously from the large number of muscles controlling a complex behavior,” Sober says.
