John Tuthill is the first University of Washington faculty member to be selected as a member of the Next Generation Leaders advisory council of the Allen Institute for Brain Science. He is one of six distinguished early-career researchers who will provide feedback in both formal and informal settings to scientists at the Allen Institute. The program recognizes the outstanding and innovative contributions from emerging scientific leaders and fosters professional development by providing opportunities and informal training on how to serve as scientific advisors.

Next Generation Leaders are selected each year through a competitive application process from a pool of international applicants. This fourth cohort of Next Generation Leaders includes members from institutions around the country, each of whom will serve a three-year term on the council.
