Saving SBE starts before the bill is written. SBE needs a distinct FY27 appropriation. If your sch. is on the list, get a group of colleagues to meet w your House/Sen. offices. Esp. for Republican seats, direct constituent comms matter. Timeline/templates/updates: www.paigeamormino.com/pages/9337

Since this piece was published, we formed a task force called NODES (Neuroendocrinology Open Data Exchange Standard) to develop a standardized data format for psychoneuroendocrinology. Very happy to share that the initiative recently received a #YERUN #OpenScience Award! 🔥

Congratulations to Paige Wagstaff, winner of our college’s Outstanding Undergrad Research Award AND the School of Anthropology Scholar Award. She’s been an integral part of our research in LEEP & I’m excited our collaboration will continue in Madagascar this summer! shorturl.at/CArEy

📣 🏆 👩‍🔬 @katieking1110.bsky.social is a 2025-2026 P.E.O. Scholar! Katie is a member of the Laboratory for the Evolutionary Endocrinology of Primates in the UArizona School of Anthropology. The award will support her research on mechanisms of infant care in red-bellied lemurs. @uarizona.bsky.social

Couldn’t be more proud of our students at @bioanth.org! Members of LEEP @uarizona.bsky.social past & present presented on the hormones of parenting in humans and lemurs, new gut microbiome methods, & seasonal androgens in male & female sifaka.

So proud of LEEP Lab member @paigewagstaff.bsky.social for her second award on her investigation of the relationship between maternal pre- and postpartum oxytocin levels and significant childhood adversity in humans!

Shout-out to Katie King @katieking1110.bsky.social for an awesome poster on paternal care and fecal glucocorticoid metabolites in Red-bellied Lemur fathers. She looks at fluctuating concentrations pre- and post-birth & associations with care behaviors. #AABA2025 #PoopScience #BehavioralEndocrinology

Healthcare is a human right, and this is unacceptable. $2,000,000,000,000. Two TRILLION Dollars. That's an incredible amount of lost healthcare. Call your representatives today. Email your representatives today. Speak out. www.house.gov/representati...

CALL TO ACTIVISM@calltoactivism.bsky.social · last yr.

Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

If I’ve learned one thing from this ordeal, once you’re on a list it’s too late. Stop the lists from being made. Make them confront what their list making supports.

NEW: The University of Michigan provost asked its deans to create lists of employees working in DEI-related positions, according to an email I obtained. This comes after Trump's directive to universities to end DEI programs or risk losing funding.

After 9 years in the making, it's finally out (!) White-faced capuchins with a stronger stress response to previous droughts were more likely to survive a severe El Niño drought. Kudos to the heroic efforts of first authors Sofia Carrera and Irene Godoy. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....
