Thrilled to share that our new paper is now live in @PNASNews! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

We demonstrate that structural variants are more deleterious than smaller variants in natural populations, although some facilitate adaptation. (1/2)

Mating songs of Galápagos finches from a set of possible futures, played to territorial males, reveal links between adaptation and speciation. Check out our new study—led by Dr. Jeff Podos @UMassAmherst—in @sciencemagazine! ⬇️ Summary 🧵below! (1/10) science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

It's finally published! Working with @jordanmckinneyy @jmbutler18 @bcgoolsby @alaurenoconnell and other lovely Twitter-less scientists at @LOB_SU for my undergrad thesis on FoxP2 in social 🐸 tadpoles was such a joy. So happy this work is out in the world! royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Really excited to share the latest preprint from my lab @CSHL. Work done by @IskoEmily, a fantastic graduate student, in collaboration with @TonyZador. So what is this paper about?

Song "type" learning is happening in the auditory system at very young ages. Before the song sensitive period even opens! Proud of this work led by @katieschro8 .
New from @katieschro8 @HealeyLab in @J_Exp_Biol, report that in zebra finches, brain cells in forebrain auditory areas are already selectively tuned to conspecific song before the sensitive period Nice use of cross fostering w/Bengalese finches journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

The latest from the lab is out now in @CurrentBiology! Led by the amazing @BrandonFricker, with help from @muruganmalu, we identified a neural circuit that facilitates affiliative peer-group preferences in spiny mice. @EmoryUniversity sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Out now in @CurrentBiology, our new paper identifies an olfactory receptor that mediates male attraction to females, but enforces avoidance of parental care. A thread that leads to an unexpected twist in regulation of social behavior! cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Tiny D. cerebrum produce super-loud clicks and now Antonia Groneberg @benjulab & co reveal how the cartilage hammers that hit the swim bladder develop. In addition, even 6-week-old fish click at full speed; they don't need to practice journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Super excited to share my postdoc work investigating how mating and parental behaviors evolve using wild species of mice combined with single nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamus 🐭🧠🧬! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We are super excited to host the next round of UCSF EPSP talks! Postdocs, come give a talk in the 2023-2024 @UCSFNSGrad Neuroscience Formal Seminar Series. Great opportunity to show off your work and meet the UCSF neuroscience community. Please share with great candidates and RT!

I just learned that Harvey Karten passed away. As a PhD student writer for @NeuWriteSD, I had the honor of interviewing him in 2015. His candor & passion left a huge impact on me -- even as an emeritus professor, he was still obsessed with brains. neuwritesd.org/2015/04/30/bi…

Super cool working going on in @LOB_SU with @whisperina (in vivo imaging mol bio techniques) to understand parent-offspring interactions! Send your talented undergrads their way.

Our paper, Crows ‘count’ the number of self-generated vocalizations, is out! With this amazing team (@KatharinaBrecht, @lena_veit, A_Nieder), we uncovered that crows are able to control the number of vocalizations produced. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
