Pofessor Seth Pollak has been awarded this year’s James McKeen Cattell Fellowship. These awards provide an extended sabbatical period that allows the recipient to pursue new research. For over half a century, the James McKeen Cattell Fund has provided support for the science of psychology. These awards supplement the regular sabbatical allowance provided by the recipients’ home university.
