  Mrs. ELLMERS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Anne Marion 
Taylor of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, for receiving the 2013 Sloan 
Research Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Dr. Taylor, a 
Biomedical Engineer at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 
will receive a two-year, $50,000 grant to expand her research in 
Neurosciences.
   The fellowship is designed to provide supplemental funding and 
support to enhance the careers of its young recipients. This 
prestigious honor is reserved only for the best and brightest to 
highlight the newest generation of scientific leaders by opening new 
doors for those in the pursuit of scientific innovation.
   Dr. Taylor researches neurosciences and biomedical engineering to 
find ways to better understand cellular mechanisms involved in 
cognition. As a result of Dr. Taylor's studies, we now have 
commercially available devices that have led to breakthroughs in the 
study of synapse development.
   I congratulate Dr. Taylor for this impressive achievement and thank 
her for her dedicated work at UNC School of Medicine.
