The Stanford University Post-Doctoral Association (SUPD) recently bestowed its Postdoctoral Mentoring Award to professors Anne Brunet and Krishna Shenoy of the genetics and electrical engineering departments, respectively.

The award comes with a $2,500 cash prize and “is the first to recognize excellence in postdoctoral mentoring” on the Farm, according to an announcement by the group. This year is the third year the award has been given.

The SUPD association received 70 nominations in the two rounds this year and narrowed down the competition to Brunet and Shenoy. The Palo Alto Veteran Affairs and professor Andrew Hoffman of the School of Medicine received honorable mentions.
