Hood, Professor Bruce

(Entrances and Exits, March 2007)

After taking undergraduate degree at the University of Dundee, I completed my Ph.D. at Cambridge and spend two post-doctoral years as a researcher and honorary lecturer at UCL. In 1994, I spent one year in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Science at MIT as an MRC visiting scientist to work with Susan Carey. In 1995, I become an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard where I stayed until 1999. That year, I returned to the UK to take the Chair in Developmental Psychology at Bristol and in 2001, I established the Bristol Cognitive Development Centre. I am and have been a member of various professional bodies including the British Psychological Society, Experimental Psychology Society and the American Psychology Association. I have a number of honours including Young Investigator Award 1998 (International Society for Infant Studies), American Psychology Society Robert L. Fantz award 1999 and Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship in Neuroscience 1997-1999. In 2005, I was elected a Fellow of the American Psychological Society. I have given keynote addresses to the British Psychological Society and the British Association for the Advancement of Science. I also am actively involved in the public engagement of science, with numerous public lectures.
