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...

A genetic switch turns off parental behaviour and drives infanticide in male striped mice
In striped mice, the social environment affects expression of the Agouti gene, which in turn can drive pup-directed hostility.

FIRST PAPER OUT OF MY LAB!! Here, we examined the polymorphic Gouldian finch brain and found that the regulatory gene coding for head color, follistatin, exhibits morph and sex-specific differences in key areas known to regulate social behaviors! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
