MEET THE PROFESSOR LUNCHES
(Updated
)
Once again, professors attending the annual meeting of the SBN
have
volunteered their time to meet with trainees (undergraduate students,
graduate
students, and postdoctoral fellows) for lunch. Trainees have the
opportunity
to discuss various research interests and career development issues (or
baroque music and Monty Python movies) with professors during these
lunches.
This is a great way to get some outside advice on your research
project,
to network with professors who might be looking for graduate students,
postdoctoral fellows or future colleagues, or simply to have an
interesting
conversation so come prepared.
If you are interested in meeting with a professor, here is what you
need to do:
Site: Marriott Pittsburgh City Center, Pittsburgh, PA
Step 1: Consult the
following schedule and list of faculty to
determine which
professors
you would like to meet and the day they are available.
Step 2: On arriving at
the SBN meeting, look for the sign-up sheets at the Registration Desk.
Sign up to meet with the professor of your choice. You may sign up to
meet with different professors on different days, but not more than one
professor per day. The groups will be small (maximum of five students
per professor), so come prepared with several choices.
Step 3: On the day
you are scheduled to meet, go to the Pittsburgh Room (10th floor) at
12:00 noon. A box lunch will be provided. Proceed to the table marked
with the name of the faculty member.
Meet the Professor Lunches
will be held on only Sunday and Monday this year.

The Adkins-Regan lab studies hormonal, neural, and
behavioral mechanisms of social behavior and social relationships in
birds from an evolutionary and ecological perspective. |

research interests are the behavioral and cellular actions of anabolic
steroids and animal models of female sexual dysfunction. |

My research involves the metabolic control of reproduction. I attempt to understand the neuroendocrine
mechanisms that metabolic hormones (eg. insulin and leptin) alter to
affect reproductive status. |

We use a multidisciplinary approach to study the
neurobiology of rabbit maternal behavior, a unique model for exploring:
food intake regulation, circadian rhythms, interval-timing, pheromonal
signals, memory consolidation....... in a stimulating and fun way" |

My lab investigates the means by which hormone secretion
and hormone-dependent behaviors are temporally regulated by endogenous
timing systems. |

My
research is concerned with the neurochemical and molecular events that
subserve sexual arousal, desire, reward, and inhibition in both
laboratory animals and humans. |

differentiation of brain and behavior in the gray short-tailed opossum,
a small (60-150 g) marsupial native to Brazil. |
