Eric and Wendy Schmidt announced on June 3 that two Princetonians are among 28 new Schmidt Science Fellows: Sebastian Musslick and Kurt Ristroph, graduate students who anticipate finishing their Ph.D.s within the next year.
The year-long fellowship, a program of Schmidt Futures in partnership with the Rhodes Trust, seeks to develop the next generation of science leaders through interdisciplinary research to solve the world’s most pressing problems.
“The Schmidt Science Fellows are proving that bringing together brilliant people across disciplines is the only way to tackle the problems our world faces this century,” said Wendy Schmidt, co-founder of Schmidt Futures and president of The Schmidt Family Foundation.

Successful navigation requires the ability to separate memories in a context-dependent manner. For example, to find lost keys, one must first remember whether the keys were left in the kitchen or the office. How does the human brain retrieve the contextual memories that drive behavior? J.B. Julian of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University, USA, and Christian F. Doeller of the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, found in a recent study that modulation of map-like representations in our brain s hippocampal formation can predict contextual memory retrieval in an ambiguous environment.
