Carrie Albertin, MCZ Curator in Malacology, was awarded a 2026 Klingenstein Fellowship for her project *Mechanisms of Neurogenesis in the Largest Invertebrate Brain.*

The [Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience](https://klingenstein.org/esther-a-joseph-klingenstein-fund/neuroscience/fellowship-programs/) supports early career investigators engaged in basic or clinical research that may lead to a better understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The fellowship awards promote high-risk, and potentially high-reward, projects. Aimed at advancing cutting-edge investigations, the awards are presented to highly promising, early career scientists. At this critical juncture in their careers, funding can be a challenge.
