Western University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine Professor Michel Baudry, PhD, (pictured, center) received the Insignia of Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite, a prestigious honor bestowed by France to acknowledge his contributions to understanding the mechanisms of learning and memory and for bridging the scientific communities of France and the U.S.
Dr. Baudry’s contributions to the field of neuroscience have not only advanced our understanding of the human brain, but also strengthened the ties between France and the U.S., Adrien Frier, Consul General of France in Los Angeles, said when presenting the National Order of Merit award. Dr. Baudry has more than 400 peer-reviewed publications and is among the 100 most cited neuroscientists, according to the Institute for Scientific Information database.
“Beyond your scientific accomplishments, and as you can see there are many of them, you have been a tireless advocate for Franco-American cooperation. Your efforts in fostering scientific exchanges and your constant support to the endeavors by the Office of Science and Technology here at the Consulate in Los Angeles have been instrumental in strengthening the bonds between the scientific communities of our two nations,” Frier said. “Your dedication to mentoring and nurturing the next generation of great scientists reflects your belief in the power of education and collaboration. You have shown by your career by your actions that science is not only just about discovery, but also about building relationships and fostering a sense of community that transcends border.”
