Rosalind Franklin Medal
Psychologist and BPS member Professor Francesca Happé has been awarded this year's Rosalind Franklin Medal by the Royal Society for her outstanding contribution to science. The medal is of silver gilt and is accompanied by a grant of £30,000, part of which is to be used to help raise the profile of women in science. Happé, who's based at the MRC Social, Genetic and Developmental Psychiatry Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, will also be invited to give an award lecture at the Royal Society. Professor Happé conducts research into autism and Asperger's syndrome and is a previous winner of the British Psychological Society's Spearman Medal, which recognises outstanding early career psychology research.
