.AmSoc Primatologists's first-ever symposium in Spanish is underway! #ASPSATX2018

ASP is hosting their first symposium in Spanish today! Shoutout to my lab mate Rocio del Razo for an excellent talk on titi monkeys. #thanksforthesubtitles #ASPSATX2018

Karen Bales is a professor running 2 labs at UCDavis! She is interested all things brain/behavior/biology/bonding. She mentors 7 graduate students, 2 postdocs & bunches of undergrads. Favors titi monkeys or prairie voles? She’ll never tell!

Allison Lau is our other first year student, starting in the #AnimalBehavior Grad Group. She's interested in #monogamous primate vocal #communication and behavioral mechanisms of pair-bond reinforcement. Let's hear those #titimonkeys sing!

2nd yr grad student Logan Savidge (she/her) joined us from Colorado College to study how attachments alter neurobiology. She is also interested in the way individual variation in attachment style mediates other cognitive processes like #impulsivity and #anxiety.

I'm very proud of the cadre of graduate students who authored this paper with me: authors.elsevier.com/a/1XvpTY3M3MIgP. In the paper we try to parse out the long-term effects of SOCIAL touch during development...

Today, I had the opportunity to give a talk to Biology undergrads from UDLAP about my research with intranasal #oxytocin and its pontential as treatment for #autism, I got some great questions from the audience, it was a pleasure! Thanks for the invite (RA) #Mexico #Biologia

Love this lab so much! It takes a village to run our studies on the #neurobiology of #monogamy, and we have such an incredible team of scientists here at UC Davis. So proud to work with each and every one of you! -LW

How does oxytocin affect anxiety, social preferences, and even cerebral glucose uptake? Rocio Arias Del Razo of the Bales Lab at UC Davis finds pervasive social effects in baby titi monkeys without global changes in anxiety. #2019SAS

Thank you for hosting us UC Davis Research! We enjoyed talking with everyone who stopped by! It was also a great time at to introduce our new public information officer, Logan Savidge to other great #ucdavis science communicators

There's no better feeling than finishing up an intense #titimonkey project and having an early morning #coffee date with the best #labmates ever! Karen Bales Alexander Baxter Rocío A. Del Razo -AL

Los organizadores del 2nd Mexican, Latinx and Chicanx Academic Symposium at UC Davis muy bien chicos! Todo un éxito!! mexicans_at_ucdavis Bernardo Bastien @alerasant

Challenges for Measuring Oxytocin: The Blind Men and the Elephant? sciencedirect.com/science/articl… This is a REALLY interesting article from @StevenRayOslo and team on the measurement of endogenous oxytocin concentrations. Here's why...

¡Gracias Conapred y a alexandra haas por esta gran idea!Urgía un espacio como #MexicoInvisible para abordar temas de los que nos cuesta trabajo hablar.¡Gracias por invitarme a ser parte del programa piloto en el que hablamos de la xenofobia!Un honor compartir foro con Carlos Heredia

The Amazon is being devoured by fire. The Brazilian government has NOT declared it a national emergency. The Amazon is home to millions of species including our beloved titi monkeys! Spread the word! "Once the Amazon it's gone, it's gone forever" #SOSBolivia #Brazil #AmazonFire

Controlar la lluvia ha sido uno de los súperpoderes que el humano ha querido tener desde épocas inmemorables. Y con la ciencia de hoy en día pareciera que todo podría ser posible ¿o no? ¡Descúbrelo en este episodio de Planeteando! youtu.be/KrUZnqHv-7A

Hi, I’m a psychoneuroendocrinologist. You might know me from my smash hits: “Don’t Buy Oxytocin Online”, “You Can’t Measure Peripheral Blood Oxytocin Levels to Infer Brain Levels”, and “Your Sample Size is Too Small”, OR my chart-topping “Oxytocin Is Not the Cuddle Chemical”
