2012 American Psychological Association (APA) Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology in the area of animal learning and behavior, comparative to Friederike Range.

Dr. Friederike Range, senior scientist at the University of Veterinary Medicien Vienna and one of the founders of the "Clever Dog Lab" Vienna und of the "Wolf Science Center" Ernstbrunn was awarded the "2012 American Psychological Association (APA) Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology in the area of animal learning and behavior, comparative". Thereby, Friederike enters a "star league" in psychology. Among the awardees before her were, for example, S. Pinker and N. Chomsky.

We are immensely proud and happy and sure that some of the Friederikes glamour will also shine at those institutions she was working with before, Teh University of Vienna, the Konrad Lorenz Research Center in Grünau, the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, the Clever Dog lab and the Wolf Science Center at Ernstbrunn.

We wholeheartedly congratulate!
