Excited to share our 1st preprint on parrot vocal learning in the Jesse Goldberg !! We found some surprising differences in an important forebrain circuit between parrots and their evolutionary relatives–songbirds. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Lindy McBride, my incredible PhD advisor! Words can't describe what a huge privilege it's been to have her as a mentor! 🤩

Great study on how human odour differences underlie mosquito attraction (with an awesome large-scale behavioural setup)! Congrats McMeniman Lab, Diego Giraldo, @stephrankin2, and team!
