I had the opportunity to write a research briefing for Nature, in which I summarized our recent work in African Striped Mice. It’s a short read for anyone who wants a quick overview!

A amazing new story by
@cate-cholamine.bsky.social
led by
@forrestdrogers.bsky.social
on the environmental modulation of paternal behavior in African striped mice, with a newly discovered molecular player of parental control, Agouti! Terrific study, congrats to all authors!...

Hi! My name is Forrest, and I’m a behavioral neuroscientist. I study the neural causes and consequences of male parenting. Currently a postdoc at Princeton with
@cate-cholamine.bsky.social
and Ricardo Mallarino, where I study the neural substrates of paternal care in African striped mice.
