- Excited to be attending #SfN2023 this year! If you're interested in hearing about how the spiny mice vary their behavioral and neural response across conspecific types, come to my nanosymposium presentation on Sunday afternoon!

- It is the best day of the year. Happy Friday the 13th!
- Sometimes when I put on cat tv for my cats, it feels like I’m equally invested in watching the birds.
- excited to announce the latest work in spiny mice from the kelly lab: biased brain and behavioral responses towards kin in males of a communally breeding species out now in scientific reports! doi.org/10.1038/s415...
- thank you to @debho.bsky.social for their work on the group interactions and as always to @aubreymkelly.bsky.social for their help and support! #neuroskyence

- Anyone with SPSS experience able to describe creating random intercepts versus random slopes in a GLMM model on the program? #neuroskyence #stats
- Insects are so cool. It seems like the wide array of behaviors that differ across relatively closely related species would make them amazing models for #neuroskyence .
