Abstract

As the 2018 recipient of the Daniel S. Lehrman Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology, I was asked to give a short lecture in the Young Investigator Symposium of the combined Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology/International Congress on Neuroendocrinology meeting in Toronto. This lecture focused on one person's thoughts on what it takes to be successful in an academic science career. In this paper, I elaborate on success, on traits that may be useful for success in science, and on where the field of Behavioral Neuroendocrinology may be going.
