Due to health problems Prof. Greengard could not travel from New York and Mike Stern, founder of the Stern Center at the Rockefeller University, received the Golgi Medal on his behalf from Dott. Streparava, of the Brescia Golgi Foundation. The acceptance speech was given by Prof. Greengard’s student, Dr. Warner Schmidt.
