Congrats to Dr. Marlene Cohen for winning the 2012 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. And no, this is not a prize for having good aim when you shoot your pipette tip into the trash.
Dr. Cohen studies the interaction between sensory input and attention in the brain. Sort of how you can look at one thing but be paying attention to something else, like background noise that you can’t necessarily see. 

Congrats to Dr. Cohen! But I still think there should be a prize for accuracy of shooting pipette tips into the waste! :-p
