The lab has been busy writing and submitting and resubmitting manuscripts for publication, based on work here. Here are the highlights.
A collaborative project headed by Dr. Nora Prior from University of Saint Etienne- Jean Monnet, in France, and including collaborators from the University of British Columbia, the Vancouver Prostate Centre, and Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Comparative Physiology A. The paper is titled "Sex steroid profiles and pair-maintenance behavior of captive wild-caught zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata)". Might make for a good discussion in my Sex on the Brain class.
Congrats to Sarah Wright, a Rollins alum for landing the internship position with the reproductive endocrinology laboratory in Disney's Animal Kingdom. The lab is actually an exhibit at Disney, so she will be running assays behind the glass with public watching. Glad to see all those labs in the glass-strewn Bush building prepared her for the real world.
BTW, we also received positive reviews from General and Comparative Endocrinology for the cardinal paper that was submitted with the lead author being our own Sarah. Believe it or not, we had so much data they suggested splitting the paper in 2 or even 3 for resubmission. Not bad, better than the opposite problem.
We also have other manuscripts in the pipeline, with Zoe Mack (at UF Vet School) and Ben Radin (at Temple U Pharm School), so we are keeping busy and stay tuned for updates.
