We are grieving our friend and brilliant colleague Natalia Duque-Wilckens. A creative scientist, artist, caring mentor, and force for change. Words can’t describe the impact she had on lives at UC Davis, MSU, NC State and beyond. I feel lucky to have known her and wish her time didn’t end so soon

The 2025 Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology meeting was a glorious time in beautiful Vancouver, BC, CA. My postdoc and grad student won awards. My postdoc gave a talk and stood up for what he believed in passionately.

Had a great time catching up w/ friends, sharing our science, and re-gaining motivation at #SBN2025. Shout out to the organizers for a wonderful meeting (and @megangmassa.com for snapping a pic of my talk!)

#SBN2025 was full of great science, people, and fun! Big thanks to @dr-stan.bsky.social and our students for helping organize!! 🥰

At #SBN2025 Jill Becker talks about the differences in motivation and escalation for cocaine and other drugs. The motivation for initial use is so interesting.,. In rodent models females also increase infusions of cocaine more so than males. (Mirroring escalation in humans).

What do these people have in common? You guessed it- they have been or will be a President of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology @sbn-bsky.bsky.social
