Academic Achievements

Gary Westbrook, who served as senior editor in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience for the Journal of Neuroscience from 1997–2002, became editor-in-chief of the journal in 2003. The journal, which is the official publication of the 35,000 member Society for Neuroscience, has undergone a transformation to support electronic submission and review during this period. Larry Trussell assumed Westbrook’s role as senior editor.

John Scott served as review editor for the Biochemical Journal. Wolfhard Almers was on the editorial board for Current Opinion in Cell Biology. Philip Stork served on the editorial boards of Endocrinology, Molecular Endocrinology, and Journal of Biological Chemistry. Michael Forte was on the editorial boards of Journal of Biological Chemistry, Current Genomics, and Receptors and Channels.

Ed McCleskey

Ed McCleskey was appointed as co-director of the summer Neurobiology course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts for 2004–2008. The course is designed to provide an intensive and comprehensive hands-on training experience in cellular and molecular neurobiology for predoctoral students and young investigators. The course is taught by 75 international faculty with expertise in electrophysiology, imaging, and molecular techniques, and is supported by grants from NINDS and the Grass Foundation. John Scott was a member of the ASBMB program committee and chaired the 2004 ASBMB/IUBMB meeting. Scott also was chair of the International Program Committee for the Conference on Second Messengers and Signal Transduction.

Wolfhard Almers gave the 2003 Erlanger-Gasser Lecture, Washington University, St. Louis and, in 2004, presented the plenary lecture at the Gordon Conference on Synaptic Transmission. Tom Soderling gave the plenary lecture at the Japanese Pharmacology Society meeting in Kumamoto, Japan in 2002 and was chosen as the G.H. Miller Distinguished Lecturer at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Roger Cone spoke on the role of the brain in controlling feeding behavior at the 2004 Nobel Conference, hosted by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
