Hey @sbn-bsky.bsky.social ! So glad to be here in Niagara Falls for the 30th annual meeting of SBN! Come check out very cool work by @jovianylc.bsky.social on thyroid hormones on Thursday (poster session 1, 53), and come by to chat about how cool striped mouse dads are on Friday (poster 63) 🧠 🧑‍🧒‍🧒🧬

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.

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)

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. pni.princeton.edu/news/2026/ma...
The making of doting dads: New study from Princeton's Neuroscience Institute and Department of Molecular Biology identifies the Agouti gene as a regulator of paternal instincts.

Hi! My name is Forrest, and I’m a behavioral neuroscientist. I study the neural causes and consequences of male parenting. Currently a postdoc at Princeton with @cate-cholamine.bsky.social and Ricardo Mallarino, where I study the neural substrates of paternal care in African striped mice.
