Congratulations go to Life Course Centre Fellow Dr Agnieszka Tymula, who has been awarded a Society for NeuroEconomics Early Career Award at its annual meeting held in Toronto recently (4 to 8 October 2017). Neuroeconomics is a nascent field that represents the confluence of economics, psychology and neuroscience in the study of human decision making.

To win the award Agnieszka had to demonstrate that she had made a significant contribution to understanding the neural basis of decision making, or to the impact of this knowledge on formal understanding of decision behaviour. She received a $1000 monetary prize and an engraved plaque, which was presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society.
