Swedish distinction
UCL psychologist Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore has been chosen by the Swedish Neuropsychological Society to be their 2011 Distinguished Lecturer of the year. The honorary role attracts a prize of 30,000 Swedish kronor (approximately £3000) and will involve Professor Blakemore delivering four lectures in Sweden over the coming year. 'It is a great honour to be awarded this wonderful prize, and I look forward to discussing my current research with my Swedish colleagues,' Blakemore said. Past recipients include a BPS Fellow, Professor Uta Frith, also at UCL, and Professor Daniel Schacter at Harvard.
