Directors, the Vision Sciences Society. She is a member of the Advisory Board to the GestaltReVision Methusalem Programme, held by Johan Wagemans at KU Leuven in Belgium. In 2020 she was the guest in an episode of The Life Scientific on BBC Radio 4. Early and personal life Hurlbert was interested in science from a young age and was supported by her family. As a teenager she was interested in both mathematics and the brain. She studied at Princeton University, graduating in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in Physics. In 1982 she was awarded a Marshall scholarship and took a Part III Diploma in Theoretical Physics followed by an MA in physiology at Cambridge University. She was awarded a doctorate from MIT in 1989 in the area of brain and cognitive sciences and the following year gained an MD from Harvard Medical School. She then moved back to the UK and held a Wellcome Trust Vision Research Fellowship at Oxford University working with Andrew Parker. Hurlbert is married to Matt Ridley and they have two children.
