See you all in San Diego!

The Tschida Lab is recruiting a new PhD student this cycle! We have ongoing projects related to (1) neural circuits that regulate vocal communication across behavioral contexts and/or development and (2) motor control of different vocalization types. Please RT! Strong neuro background a plus.

I feel seen, except that I can't tell which one of these birbs represents me, and which one represents my kids. actually kinda scared to know the answer.

Lab’s 1st preprint! Menstruation is understudied due to societal taboos + a biological challenge: mice (a key system for research + drug discovery) don’t menstruate. @cagricevrim.bsky.social made menstruating mice + used them to discover early events in menstruation. He is on the job market!

Gonna be in San Diego for #sfn25? Come join us for our first ever in-person event for @storiesofwin.bsky.social - registration is now OPEN!! 👇 gonna be a great time for getting inspired and building community (and stay tuned for an exciting lineup of 🤩speakers/panelists)! Help us spread the word!
