Dr Jane Haley MBE: Congratulations!

5th Mar 2020

Dr Jane Haley (Edinburgh Neuroscience Scientific Coordinator and British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Local Group Rep) was presented with an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at an Investiture at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday 29 January 2020. This honour was awarded for Services to Science Engagement and Education.

Jane commented: "It was a fantastic day and I am beyond delighted to have been given such an honour. Our Edinburgh Neuroscience researchers are such a wonderful group of people, working with them feels like reward enough!"

In a lovely circular (but purely coincidental) moment, it was also Princess Anne who presided at Jane’s graduation ceremony in 1987 at the Royal Albert Hall when she received her BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology from the University of London (UCL).
