Hey Hypothalamus heads! We are now accepting abstracts for the HypoGRC this August (now at the lovely Sunday River location). We have an exciting program planned for you so that we can really wild out about our favorite subcortical region. www.grc.org/hypothalamus...

A few days left to register for the wonderful CSHL Circuits meeting in March. Always great mix of model species, tools, scales meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.asp...

Want to track the dynamics of estrogen in the brain across long periods of time? New paper as part of very fun collab with team UCLA Ed Van Veen and Steph Correa! We use a specialized optical reporter and show that this is possible and actually very easy! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I will be pinch hitting for Adi Nair at this awesome social neuro minisymposium today. Come say hi! #sfn2025

This book, read repeatedly under the covers with a flashlight as a kid, made me a scientist of animal behavior. RIP Jane.

Very excited and proud to share my postdoctoral research with @neurrriot.bsky.social looking at the context-specific encoding of social behavior 💃🕺 in hormone-sensitive, large-scale brain networks in mice! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #neuroskyence #compneurosky 🧪 1/12

Love how this project came together with the amazing @endoeartha.bsky.social ! Have you wondered about the role that testosterone plays in the ability to re-pattern social behavior when you are at home in your "territory" vs away? We have answers for you...

Is it finally time for systems neuroscience to take hormones seriously? OMG YES! @meenakshiasokan.bsky.social and I share some of our thoughts about recent work in this review www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Some ppl are suggesting reviewers take a stand- if the diversity F31s can’t be reviewed this cycle then no F31s should be reviewed. I know none of us wants to slow things down after panels finally restarted, but this seems like the only fair approach to me. Wait till next cycle to consider everyone.

New year new work from the lab! We explore whether aggression experience and observation lead to similar changes in future aggression strategy. (They do!) We perform 2-color imaging across the whole social behavior network across time and track changes www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks Stories of Win! It felt really great to be able to gush about the lab and the people who have made it so awesome. 😊
