I’m on my way to my first @canacn.bsky.social ! Come check out my poster on Tuesday afternoon (P-E-189) 🇨🇦🧠
I’m also super excited to be speaking at the Neural Circuits and Behaviour satellite meeting tomorrow! Special thanks to @markcembrowski.bsky.social and @franklandlab.bsky.social for organizing!
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...
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-...
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)
Lineup, including trainee talks, is all set for this year's Neural Circuits and Behaviour Satellite at @canacn.bsky.social, co-hosted with @franklandlab.bsky.social . One week away, with a few tickets remaining for anyone interested! www.eventbrite.com/e/neural-cir...
New research on African striped mice found that the caregiving instinct may be rooted in a specific gene
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!...
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.

Expression of agouti signalling protein in neurons in the medial preoptic area is increased by group housing and negatively associated with care, and overexpression of Agouti reduces care and enhances...

I am so proud to share @forrestdrogers.bsky.social’s postdoctoral magnum opus, now out in @nature.com! Forrest discovered a novel role for Agouti in the MPOA of the hypothalamus to integrate socio-environmental information to flexibly tune paternal behavior
