Scientists, now more than ever, need to explain their work to the public. Many years ago now, I gave a TEDMED talk about my lab’s research. tedmed.com/talks/show?id=…

Our latest study on the role of oxytocin receptors in prairie voles is now published! We are deeply grateful to Larry, whose encouragement and vision allowed us to pursue this work. His legacy continues to guide and motivate us. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
