Earlier this month, Kat and Beth gave oral presentations at SICB 2020, the annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, in Austin, Texas! Beth shared her recent findings on how maternal gut dysbiosis via antibiotic administration affects offspring behavior in Siberian hamsters. Kat was selected to compete for the Division of Comparative Endocrinology’s Aubrey Gorbman Award for Best Student Oral Presentation, where she discussed how melatonin modulates seasonal changes in neurosteroid levels and territorial aggression in male Siberian hamsters. Way to go, ladies!
