FABBS 2026 Norman Anderson IDEA Award Lifetime Achievement Winner: Jill Becker, PhD

The 2026 Norman B. Anderson Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Dr. Jill B. Becker, who is the Patricia Y. Gurin Collegiate Professor of Psychology and Research Professor at the University of Michigan. Dr. Becker has spent over three decades investigating sex differences in neural systems underlying addiction and motivated behavior. Her research demonstrated that ovarian hormones — specifically estradiol — modulate dopamine release in reward-related brain regions, reshaping our understanding of biological sex differences in addiction vulnerability. She co‑founded the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences, served as Editor‑in‑Chief of the journal Biology of Sex Differences, and has mentored many students and early-career scientists, particularly women and members of underrepresented groups.
