What if you lesion the hippocampus of male #PrairieVoles and put them in the field? @BioBookworm @LindsaySailer Will they bond (yes) Will homerange size change (no) Will it affect monogamous males (not really) Will it affect non-monogamous males (yup!) frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Welcome to my #TwitterTakeover!!! My name is @JesusEMadrid, and I’m a postdoctoral associate in the @OphirLab @CornellPsychDpt. Today I’ll be taking you through some highlights of my research on #PrarieVoles, #development, #matingdecisions, and some of our exciting #outreach.

I'm so proud of my student Amit Hanadari-levy, who was awarded the @CornellNBB Robert R. Capranica Award (for an outstanding undergraduate honors thesis in neuroethology)! She'll be studying capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica this summer. What a rockstar!! 🎉

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK  #BelovedCommunity

One of my proudest & happiest moments is when I get to cite work from other labs featuring my former undergrad mentees as the lead author. e.g.: @ForrestDRogers_ @volesinlove @KJeanWallace

We're looking for postdocs! We study the genes & circuits that drive reproductive behaviors in #cichlid fish. What sensory signals do they exchange, and how do hormones regulate their integration? How do these drive sexual selection? You'll find out! go.umd.edu/cichlidpostdoc
