University to toast a year of great science

The Rockefeller community is invited to a champagne reception on Tues., Jan 9, to toast the outstanding achievements of university scientists in 2000.

Many Rockefeller scientists received awards and honors for their research this year, including Vincent Astor Professor Paul Greengard, who shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology with Rockefeller University trustee Eric Kandel and Arvid Carlsson.

The reception will take place in the library's Welch Hall Reading Room at 3:30 p.m.

A list of the scientific awards that Rockefeller scientists received since May 1999 will be included in a future issue of News&Notes.
