I recently joined Bob McDonald on Quirks & Quarks (CBC/Radio-Canada) to chat about my research on male parenting 👨‍👦 The interview is now live in Canada 🇨🇦 and available internationally (🇺🇸, etc.)! You can check it out here (or on other major streaming platforms): www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

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! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why are some males caring toward infants while others are neglectful or abusive? I'm so pleased to share work that my colleagues and I @princeton.edu have just published @nature.com (an explanatory thread to follow!) (1/8)

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!...

New research on African striped mice found that the caregiving instinct may be rooted in a specific gene

From "Dad of the Year" to deadbeat: what accounts for a doting father versus a negligent one? PNI's @forrestdrogers.bsky.social working in the labs of @cate-cholamine.bsky.social & @mallarinolab.bsky.social finds a molecular “switch” for paternal care in mice. pni.princeton.edu/news/2026/ma...

Wow thanks for the post! Other UCD authors include @forrestdrogers.bsky.social and @adeleseelke.bsky.social , as well as Jessica Bond and Trent Simmons -- team vole!

An outbreak of wildfires fueled by dry conditions and hurricane-force winds was rapidly spreading across the Texas Panhandle and parts of Oklahoma on Friday, prompting evacuations, wreaking havoc on the roads and leaving thousands without power.

Delighted to announce that the Western University Postdoctoral Fellowships Program is open for 2025 applications. The 2-year Fellowships now include annual stipends of $70,000 plus benefits, plus a $5,000 research allowance. We expect to make up to 19 awards. Details: uwo.ca/research/fun...

Today I tried to take a break from the bad news by learning to extract nuclei with UCD grad @forrestdrogers.bsky.social

Cannot believe I’m on this list!😱 Thank you Pres Biden and the WH!!!

new Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience book! This initiative led by @thekirbylab.bsky.social,with contributions from amazing scientists (and me 😯) is intended for UG with no presumed college-level science coursework, and presents the foundational pples of brain behavior-environm interactions.

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.
