🎤🧠 Huge shoutout to our amazing grad students who shared their research at Research Day! So many thought-provoking ideas, meaningful questions, and cool projects in the works — such a great reminder of the passion and curiosity driving this field forward. Proud of all the work you’re doing! 🙌

💬 New from the Psycle Lab! Dr. Ashley Balsom’s latest op-ed in the MUN Gazette, “Infertility, Embryos, and EDI: Why Canada Must Take Medically Assisted Reproduction Seriously,” highlights how gaps in fertility care access reflect deeper equity issues in our health-care system.

Freshly minted op-ed by my brilliant colleague, Dr. Ashlyn Swift-Gallant. "Three myths about sex and gender research that are costing you money and your health." Read, read, read! @swiftneurolab.bsky.social @munpsych.bsky.social @canacn.bsky.social @memorialuscience.bsky.social

Super cool!

Endocrine researchers, you may have think you're safe because you don't do 'trans' research, but attacks on trans research is an attack on us all. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Took a break from working on my research poster to create #standupforscience2025 posters for Friday’s rally. Advocating for inclusivity in science is just as important as the research itself!

Hi Bluesky community! I am looking forward to using this platform to connect with and learn from behavioural neuroendocrinology researchers across the world. #sexdifferences Check out myself and my colleagues’ new publication in Biology of Sex Differences: bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
